His students: It cannot be limited to all those who studied under the sheikh because they crowded in his council, especially in recent years, with over five hundred students in some lessons of varying levels. Some of his prominent students have been mentioned in his detailed biography in the Wisdom magazine, issue number two, not for the sake of limitation, so refer to it.

The methodology that Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Sadi followed is a methodology that diverges from the methodology followed by the scholars of the island – the scholars of Najd – the majority or most of them, as they rely on the Hanbali madhhab in the branches of jurisprudence issues and rely on the book Zaid Al-Mustanqa in the fiqh of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal; Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Sadi was known for his divergence from the Hanbali madhhab and not being constrained by it in many issues.
