Assalamu alaikum,
A brief extract from an online event last year in commemoration of the life of Shaykh Mahmud Effendi (Allah have mercy on him).
Shaykh Thaqib Mahmood studied in Instanbul in 2001, long before it was a popular place to study and at a time when restrictions on the public wearing of the turban and hijab on university campuses was in place.
