He was born in Nfta, Tunisia to a family that fled from Algeria in the face of the French invasion.
In 1888, he moved with his family to Tunis (Tunisia's capital). Two years later he joined Jami' al-Zaytuna (the equivalent for al-Azhar in Tunisia).
In 1952, the scholar was appointed as the Grand Imam of al-Azhar. He wrote more than 20 scientific works.
