Saudi King establishes Prophet's Hadeeth complex

RIYADH, Oct 17 (KUNA) -- Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz signed a decree to establish a complex for Prophet's Hadeeth, or words he uttered, and would be based in the city of Madinah, official SPA news agency reported Tuesday.
The complex, which would include elite scholars of Hadeeth as members, will be chaired by Sheikh Mohammad bin Hassan Al Al-Sheikh.
It said the establishment of the complex was due to the great status of Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) Sunnah among Muslims, which was the second source of Islamic legislation after Holy Quran. (end) od.bs
