Hamoud al-Aqla al-Shuebi
Born Saudi Arabia
Occupation Saudi cleric
Known for issuing fatwas to support Osama bin Laden

Sheikh Hamoud al-Aqla al-Shuebi (Arabic: حمود العقلاء الشعيبي‎) was a Saudi born Islamic cleric.[1]

He has been seen as a radical element[2] since at least 1994 when he was quoted by Osama bin Laden in his Open Letter to Shaykh Bin Baz on the Invalidity of his Fatwa on Peace with the Jews, and several weeks after the Invasion of Afghanistan.[3]

He drew condemnation from the United States for making comments supporting the 9/11 attacks, and encouraging Muslims to fight Christians and Jews in "Muslim lands". He issued a Fatwa praising the Taliban for creating "the only country in the world in which there are no man-made laws".[4]

Obeying this Fatwa was consistently listed as factors favoring the continued detention of various Guantanamo detainees.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The different transliterations Joint Task Force Guantanamo counter-terrorism analysts used for his name included: Amoud Shouib Ouqula, Ha Al-Uqla, Hamid al Uqqla, Hammoud al Agla of Quaseem, Hammoud al Oqalah, Hamood al Aqla, Hamood al Okla, Hamoud Al Okla, Hamoud Al Shi'Ibi, Hamoud Al Ukla Aqula, Hamoud Al Uqla Al Shuebi, Hamoud Alaugla, Hamoud Aluoqla, Hamoud al Aqla, Hamoud al Uqla, Hamoud al Uqqla, Hamud Al-Uqqla, Hamud al Ukla, Hamud al-Uqqla, Hamud bin Uqla, Hamud bin ‘Uqla al-Shu‘aybi, Hamud bin ‘Uqla al-Shu‘aybi, Humud al Uqla, Sheik Ha Al-Uqla, Sheik Hamood al Okla, Sheikh Hamood Al Ugla, Sheik Hamoud, Sheik Hamoud Alaugla, Sheikh Hamud Al-Uqqla Sheik al Uqla, Sheik Bin Augla, Sheik Mahmoud al Oukla.
