Rahimullah Haqqani (Dari: رحیم الله حقانی; died 11 August 2022) was an Afghan cleric. He was a supporter of the Taliban and a critic of the Islamic State – Khorasan Province (IS-K). He believed that women could be educated as he felt there was nothing present in Islamic law that forbade it.

He had previously survived two assassination attempts, including a 2020 bombing in Peshwar, Pakistan, which killed seven people.[1]
