Abu al-Fadl Abdullah bin Muhammad bin al-Siddiq al-Ghumari (1910–1993) was a Muslim preacher, jurist and theologian from Morocco.
The Ghumari family are all descendants of Ahl al-Bayt, or the family of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Ghumari's bloodline is traced through his father Muhammad, son of Muhammad, son of Ahmad, son of Muhammad, son of Qasim, son of Muhammad, son of Muhammad, son of Abd al-Mu`min, son of Muhammad, son of Abd al-Mu`min, son of Ali, son of al-Hasan, son of Muhammad, son of Abdullah, son of Ahmad, son of Abdullah, son of Isa, son of Mas'ud, son of al-Fudayl, son of Ali ibn Umar, son of Umar, son of al-Arabi Alal, son of Musa, son of Ahmad, son of Dawud, son of Idris II of Fes, son of Idris I of Morocco, son of Abdullah, son of al-Hasan al-Muthana, son of Hasan ibn Ali, son of Ali and Fatimah.
Ghumari was born in the Moroccan city of Tangier in 1910, and died in the same city in 1993. As a child, he was primarily educated by his father Muhammad bin al-Siddiq al-Ghumari, also an Islamic scholar. The younger Ghumari memorized the entirety of the Qur'an at an early age, in addition to the Hadith book Bulugh al-Maram along with Alfiya and Ajārūmīya in Arabic grammar.
Ghumari later travelled to Fas for his higher education, but then enrolled in the University of al-Karaouine. While there, he also studied Mosque of Uqba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and important seat of Muslim religious learning. During his study, Ghumari's teachers covered a number of books considered canonical in Sunni Islam, Al-Qastallani's explanation of Sahih al-Bukhari and the works of Khalil ibn Ishaq al-Jundi being two examples. Eventually, Ghumari switched from Karaouine to Al-Azhar University in 1930 and graduating the next year. During his education, Ghumari was a student of Al-Kawthari, of whom Ghumari would later hold extremely negative views.
