Muhammad bin Ali al-Idrisi was born in Sabya in the Yemen Vilayet (now Saudi Arabia and Yemen). He was the grandson of Sayyid Ahmad ibn Idris al-Fasi, a Moroccan scholar from Fez, who was head of a religious fraternity (tariqa) at Mecca.
Sayyid Muhammad was educated partly at Al-Azhar University and partly by the Senussi at Kufra, and subsequently resided at Argo Island, Sudan. On his return to Asir, his one ambition was to render the district independent of the Ottoman Empire.
