IbnMuhammad al-Uthayminibn Salih was born on 9 March 19, 1929, in the City of [[Unaizah|Unayzah]], Qaseem Region of [[Saudi Arabia]]. He is said to have memorized the [[Quran]] at hisan early age and pursued an education in [[Hadithhadith]], [[Tafsirtafsir]], [[Aqidahaqidah]], [[Arabic]] and other Islamic studies, later graduating from the [[Umm al-Qura University|College of Sharia]] in [[Riyadh]].

He went on to become a member of the Saudi Commission of Senior Islamic Scholars, a professor at the College of Shari'a at [[Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University|Imam Mohammad bin Saud Islamic University]] in [[Al-Qassim Province|Qassim]] and a member of its Academic Council and wrote treatises dealing with different aspects of the Islamic doctrine. His most important books are his 15-volume book on [[fiqh]] and 10-volume book on the [[Tafsir|interpretation of the Holy Qur'an]]. He also used to teach at the [[Masjid al-Haram|Holy Mosque]] in [[Mecca]] during [[Ramadan]].

After completing his memorization of the Qur'an and foundational studies, he began his full-time religious studies under Sheikhs [[Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Mutawwa']] and [[Ali al-Salihi]] in [[Unaizah|Unayzah]], the two teachers that [[Abdul-Rahman al-Sa'di|sheikh 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di]] had appointed to instruct beginning students.<ref>{{Cite book|last=المري|first=عصام|title=الدر الثمين|publisher=دار البصيرة<!--maybe publisher? -->|location=الإسكندرية|pages=25–29}}</ref> After one year of studying under those two teachers, al-Uthaymeen began studying under sheikh '[[Abdul-Rahman al-Sa'di|Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di]] in 1945 and continued to be his student until al-Sa'di's death.

Uthaymeen's theory on the four levels of spiritual response to a calamity is outlined below.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Al-'Uthaimeen |first=Muhammad bin Salih |date=October 2003 |title=Fatawa Arkanul-Islam: Islamic Verdicts on the Pillars of Islam (Volume One) |url=https://darpdfs.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Islamic-Verdicts-on-the-Pillars-of-Islam-Vol.-1-Sh.-Al-Uthaimeen-compressed.pdf }}</ref> This theory could be contrasted with a Western model, developed much later, that was probably influenced by him: [[Five stages of grief|the Kübler-Ross model of the five stages of grief]].
