Mufti Ebrahim Smith was born in Rylands a suburb in Cape Town to Hajj Yusuf Sharif RA and Hajjah Shaheeda RA .His father who hailed from Durban had to adopt the surname Smith during Apartheid years in order to keep their property as the government back then clamped down on the Indian community. Mufti Ebrahim attended Spine Road high school where he was actively involved in the liberation struggle against the Apartheid government.

Hazrat Moulana Sema RA being a specialist himself conducted the first lessons and appointed Hazrat Mufti Faiyaz Saheb to oversee the Iftaa program. Before his demise, Hazrat Moulana Sema RA advised Mufti Ebrahim to take this knowledge back to Cape Town and start specialization in Cape Town citing there was a dire need for that.

He became the first qualified Mufti ( someone who completed formal Iftaa studies at an institution) of Cape Town in 2008. His teacher Mufti Faiyaz DB gave him the title of “ صاحب الاسانيد في الصحاح و المسانيد"  because of his love for meeting senior Ulama/ Scholars and his acquisition of high chains of narrations of Hadith going back to the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings be upon Him.
