Yasser Al Dossari

Yasir ibn Rashid al-Dossari (Arabic: ياسر بن راشد الدوسري, romanized: Yāsir ibn Rāshid al-Dossarī; born 6 August 1980) is a Saudi Islamic scholar who has served as one of the imams of Masjid al-Haram since 2019.[1][2] A khatib and qāriʾ, he led Taraweeh and Tahajjud prayers at Masjid al-Haram from 2015[3][4] and also served as the imam of several mosques in Riyadh since 1995.[5] Al-Dawsari was born in the Saudi governorate of al-Kharj, southeast of the capital, Riyadh. Al-Dawsari was a student of a group of 'ulama and sheikhs, including Abd al-Aziz Al al-Shaykh, Salih al-Fawzan, and Ibn Jibrin. He also learned qira'at with several shuyukh and qaris, including Bakri Al-Tarabisyi and Ibrahim Al-Akhdar.[6] Near the end of 2023, his four-year contract as imam expired, and he did not lead prayers at Masjid al-Haram for about five-and-a-half months. He has since been reappointed as an imam of Masjid al-Haram in Makkah.
