Career

Imam of Masjid Al-Haram

On 29 Sha'ban 1436 H (15 June 2015), King Salman bin Abdulaziz issued an order for Al-Dosari to become one of the Imams of Tarawih and Tahajjud at Masjid Al-Haram during Ramadan.[7] He carried out that order for five years.[4][8][9] On 13 Safar 1441 H (12 October 2019), King Salman appointed Sheikh Yasir as a permanent imam at Masjid Al-Haram.[2][3] Believed to be the youngest Imam appointed at the Grand Mosque in Makkah,[10] he led his first prayer in Masjid Al-Haram during the Maghrib and Isha Prayers on Saturday, 13 October 2019.[11][12]

Apart from being an imam, Al-Dosari is also an adviser to General Presidency of Haramain since 2020. He was appointed for that position after Abdul-Rahman Al-Sudais, Head of General Presidency of Haramain, decided to reorganize the ranks of the advisory body of that government agency.[13][14]

Khatib of Masjid Al-Haram

After about three years of becoming an imam of Masjid Al-Haram, Sheikh as-Sudais announced that Al-Dosari was appointed as a khatib of Masjid Al-Haram with King Salman's approval in December 2022.[15][16]

After completion of his 4-year contract as Imam, Sheikh Yasir was excused from the post in October 2023[17].It is unclear if his contract as Imam and Khatib at Masjid Al-Haram will be renewed, Al-Dosari however remains popular among his followers who want him back in the Grand Mosque of Makkah.[18]
