Salah El-Din Mahmud al-Tijani al-Hassani (Arabic: صلاح الدين بن محمود التجاني الحسني ) is an Egyptian Imam, Mujtahid and a specialist of Hadith affiliated to the Sunni Ash'ari theological school, the Maliki school of jurisprudence, and the Tijani Tariqa.
He is also an orthopedic surgeon and Professor of Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine at the Qasr El Eyni Hospital in Cairo.
He was born June 12, 1958 in Cairo, in the district of Sayyeda Zaynab, within a family of descendants of the Prophet Muhammad through the lineage of Imam Hasan ibn Ali.
