Are the first pictures of his house in Albania? Jazakallah khairen for sharing this with us.
No sister, these pictures are from Syria. Sheikh Albani was born in the city of ‘Shkodra’ (Scutari) – a stronghold of Islamic faith in Albania, and a metropole during the last 200 hundreds years of the Ottoman rule. May Allah swt reward him well & make him an excellent example for the muslims of Albania.

Assalaamu alykum
the pictures are nice, in that they give an insight into the life of this giant scholar. How simple did he live his life, yet how great was his status!
Im having doubts about this though, these pics may be enroute to veneration of the pious. I remember reading a fatwa of shk bin baz rahimahullah prohibiting taking pics of houses & masaajid of ulama as this may lead to veneration of the makhlooq. Allah knows best.
Could you share with us brother Muhammed that fatawa if u can find it inshallah. Jazakallahu khair.
MashaAllah!!!!!
May Allah azza wa Jal bless this site! Ameen.
And may Allah subhana wa Ta’ala garant al Firdaus to the Imam of the Era, the Allamah; Sheikh ul Islam Muhammad Nairuddeen Al Albani Rahimahullah.
BarakAllahu feek
ameen allahumma ameen
Jazaakallaahu khayraa for the pics.
May Allaah bless our shaikh with His highest place in Jannah, aameen!
What a wonderful incite into the Shaykh’s life BarakAllahu Feekum for sharing ya akhee!
BaarakAllahu feek. May Allah grant our noble shaikh Jannatul Firdaus and May Allah give us beneficial knowledge and love of His deen.
BaarakaAllaahu Feeka wa jazakaAllahu khairahh
