Biography
Mahmood Al-Sarkhi Al-Hasani was born in Baghdad in 1964. He was raised in the confines of his father and from the very early of his age, he was fond of scientific books. He finished primary and secondary school in his hometown. He entered the college of engineering civil department University of Baghdad and he graduated in 1987.
Controversy
Al-Sarkhi is a very controversial figure in Iraq. His opponents accuse him of holding unorthodox views on religious matters as well as ascribing to himself higher religious credentials and position than he actually possesses. He was arrested multiple times by the police. His many beliefs are critical against some of the beliefs of Shia muslims. So, opponents do not consider him a real Shia. Unlike other Shias he considers azadari and construction of shrines on graves as biddah. As per his opinion, the number of Imams is not fixed. But Islam Naab does not accept it.
