Biography
Arnaoot received his initial religious training with Hanafi scholars, before breaking with them to continue his quest for knowledge through self-teaching.[1]
The Ba'ath government banned Arnaout from giving lectures and teaching.[2] Arnaout died on 26 November 2004 in Damascus under quasi-house arrest and without leaving a successor. His funeral prayer was held after the Jumu'ah prayer at the Zayn ul-'Abidin mosque in Al-Maydan, Damascus, and was attended by tens of thousands of people. He was 78 years old.[2]
