This book was written by ‘Abdur-Rahmaan bin Muhammad bin Saalih al-‘Ayzaree who authored this work as the dissertation for his masters at the University of Sanaa’, Yemen. It is a pretty big book at 250 pages not including the index and source references. It was published by Maktabah Rushd.
The author did an excellent job and he includes a very comprehensive biography of the Shaykh. He lists the Shaykh’s works and then goes into detail about how the Shaykh used to grade the various levels of narrations. He also goes into the various rulings that he gave that conflicted with other mainstream rulings regarding women wearing gold and covering the face and other important issues.
This second book is the first that I have seen available in the English language. It is DarusSalam’s compilation of the Shaykh’s life. For 15 Saudi Riyaals its not that bad and was a good read. I have several other biographies of the Shaykh and found the translators referencing them in this work. Some of the English words are not the easiest to understand but for the English speaker it is a must have book. I found the link for the book at their online store which includes a sneak preview of the book.
On a finally note reference my old post on another Shaykh al-Albaanee biography book that I did some years back, I hope it will be of benefit.
