Shaykh Sālim ibn ʿAbd Allāh Bāmaḥraz is a Ḥaḍramī Salafī scholar born in 1950 (3rd Ramaḍān 1369 AH) in Kismayo, Somalia, where he was also raised and educated. He comes from the noble tribe of Āl Jābir al-Shanfarī in Ḥaḍramawt, Yemen.

He has spent over 50 years seeking knowledge across Somalia, Yemen, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. His teachers include some of the most distinguished scholars of recent times, such as Shaykh Muḥammad al-Amīn al-Shanqīṭī, Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn, Shaykh Muḥammad ʿAṭiyyah Sālim, and Shaykh Muḥammad Amān al-Jāmī. He benefitted greatly from their teachings and recordings and developed strong personal ties with prominent scholars like Shaykh Rabīʿ al-Madkhalī, Shaykh ʿUbayd al-Jābirī, Shaykh Ibn Bāz, and Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn.

After teaching for over 12 years in al-Mukallā, Yemen, he later moved to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he continued teaching and seeking knowledge. He is known especially for his focus on core Islamic sciences including ʿaqīdah, fiqh, ḥadīth, and tafsīr, and now teaches extensively through online platforms.

Although retired in Riyadh, Shaykh Sālim continues to teach remotely and advise students from Yemen, Turkey, North Africa, and beyond. He lives with his wife, children, and grandchildren.
