Sheikh Yasser Al-Dossari to Deliver Friday Sermon at Masjid al-Haram on 29 Shawwal i.e 17 April 2026
The Imam and Khateeb of the Grand Mosque Sheikh Yasser Al Dossary will lead this week's Friday sermon on the 29th of Shawwal 1447 AH.
The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques has announced that Sheikh Prof. Dr. Yasser bin Rashid Al-Dossari, Imam and Khatib of Masjid al-Haram, will deliver this Friday’s sermon and lead the Jumu’ah prayer at the Grand Mosque in Makkah.
The prayer is scheduled for 29 Shawwal 1447 AH, at the holiest mosque in the world, where hundreds of thousands of worshippers gather every Friday — including pilgrims, residents, and visitors from every part of the globe.
As is standard practice, a reserve Khatib has also been officially designated for this week. His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Saleh bin Abdullah bin Humaid will serve as the standby preacher, ready to step in if needed.
Sheikh Yasser Al-Dossari is one of the prominent and widely recognized Imams of Masjid al-Haram. He is well known for his heartfelt recitation of the Holy Quran and his clear, impactful sermons, which are broadcast live each week and followed by millions of Muslims around the world through television and online platforms.
Notably, this Friday falls just days before the start of Dhul Qa’dah, as Hajj season preparations are already well underway across the Kingdom.
