Sami Awad Aldeeb Abu-Sahlieh (in Arabic: سامي عوض الذيب أبو ساحلية / Sāmy ʿwḍ ʾĀd-dyb ʾĀbw-Sāḥlyh) (born 5 September 1949 in Zababdeh, near Jenin in the West Bank) is a Swiss Palestinian lawyer.

Aldeeb was the head of the Arab and Islamic Law department at the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law from 1980 to 2009. He now directs the Center of Arab and Islamic law and teaches at universities in Switzerland, France and Italy.

He is the author of books and articles on Arab and Islamic law. In 2008 he published a bilingual edition of the Quran (Arabic - French) classifying the chapters (surahs) in chronological order according to Al-Azhar, with reference to variations, abrogations and Jewish and Christian writings. He is currently preparing a similar edition in Italian and English. He also translated the Swiss constitution into Arabic for the Swiss Confederation.

Biography

Born to a family of Christian peasants in Zababdeh, near Jenin, he attended primary school in his village (1956–61) before joining the Minor Seminary of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem in Beit-Jala, near Bethlehem (1961–65). Four years later he left to attend a course in tailoring at the Salesian Technical School of Bethlehem (1965–1968), and worked in the tailoring trade in Jenin while, at the same time, working for the International Committee of the Red Cross. In 1970 he immatriculated at Jenin as a self-taught student, and thereafter obtained a scholarship from the l'Œuvre Saint-Justin in Fribourg, to study in Switzerland.

In April 1974, he received his law degree from the University of Fribourg, and then went on to study for a doctorate of Laws at the University of Fribourg and enrolled in the Graduate Institute of International Studies at Geneva to simultaneously study for an Honours degree in Political Science. He was awarded a degree from the Graduate Institute at Geneva in January 1976.

Researching for his doctoral thesis, he spent a year in Egypt. He defended his thesis in December 1978 at the Faculty of Law in Fribourg. During his studies he received a grant from l'Œuvre Saint-Justin in Fribourg (1970–1977) and a grant from the Swiss Confederation (1977–1979). He was a federal civil servant at the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law in Lausanne from 1980 to 2009, heading the Department of Arab and Islamic law. In 2009, he opened his own Center of Arab and Islamic law.

Teaching and conferences

Aldeeb taught Arab and Islamic Law in various universities.

Positions

He expressed various positions critical of Islam, for example, he positioned himself for a ban on the erection of minarets in Switzerland, since in his opinion the constitution allows prayer, but not shouting. He holds the theory that the Quran was written by a rabbi.
