About Dr. Tahir Diallo

Mouhamadou Tahirou Diallo — known to his students and audience as Dr. Tahir Diallo — is a Senegalese Islamic scholar, lecturer, and poet, born in 1976 and based in Dakar.

He holds a doctorate from the Islamic University of Madinah in the Sharia and the foundations of Islamic law (Uṣūl al-Fiqh). His teaching centres on Mālikī fiqh, taught patiently through the classical texts — from the introductory Akhḍarī and Ibn Abī Zayd’s Risāla to Bulūgh al-Marām and the works of uṣūl — alongside Qur’anic tafsīr, ʿaqīdah, and a wide body of fatwas.

He teaches and recites primarily in Pulaar (Fulfulde) and Arabic, making the scholarly tradition accessible to Fulɓe and Arabic speakers at home and across the diaspora. He is especially known for Gimɗi Fiqhu e Haala Pulaar — the rulings of fiqh rendered in Pulaar verse — and for his French-language writings on marriage, family, and the place of women in Islam.

His work carries one banner: “Needi & Gandal” — Pulaar for Faith & Knowledge.
