Ass salam a3likom wa rahmatullah. Who is hassan saqqaf? Is he zaydi or chaféi or hanafi? Which is this maddhab?

wa alaykum as salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

Thank you for your question! Personally, I don't know his madhhab, however, most of the Arabic information about him emphasizes that he is dedicated to promoting the use of 'aql among the Ahl as-Sunnah. He has also brought into question many of the traditional Sunni beliefs and traditions. He is also an ardent opponent of Salafism.

Hope this helps!
