Fateh Muhammad Panipati was born on 18 January 1905 (coinciding 12 Dhu al-Qadah 1322 AH) in Panipat.[1] He graduated in the traditional dars-e-nizami from the Darul Uloom Deoband.[2] His teachers included Asghar Hussain Deobandi, Hussain Ahmad Madani, Ibrahim Balyawi, Izaz Ali Amrohi and Muhammad Shafi Deobandi.[3]

In 1947, when Pakistan was established, Panipati migrated there and briefly taught in Ichhra and Pind Dadan Khan.[4] He taught at Madrasah Ashrafiyyah Fayḍ al-Qurʾān in Shikarpur from 1948 to 1956.[4] He moved to Karachi in 1957 at the invitation of Muhammad Shafi Deobandi,[5] and taught at the Nanak Wara branch of Darul Uloom Karachi,[6] for over fifteen years.[5] He was considered a senior scholar of Quranic recitation during his time. Muhammad Taqi Usmani has described him as the contemporary al-Jazari.[7] His students included Abdul Haleem Chishti, Abdush Shakoor Tirmizi, Raheem Bakhsh Panipati and Siddiq Ahmad Bandwi.[8]

Panipati migrated to Medina in 1972 and began teaching in the Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. He spent the last few years of his life in Medina.[5] He visited Lahore for a short while where he suffered from hemiparesis on 20 May 1979, leading him to return to Medina.[9] He died on 16 April 1987 and was buried in Al-Baqi Cemetery. His funeral prayer was led by Ali ibn Abdur-Rahman al Hudhaify.[9]
