Key Takeaways
- Sheikh Ahmed bin Talib Hameed will not lead Taraweeh or Tahajjud at the Prophet’s Mosque in Ramadan 2026.
- His name was removed from the official list of the mosque’s Imams in mid-2025.
- He had served as a leading Imam at the holy site for over twelve years.
Sheikh Ahmed bin Talib bin Hameed will not be leading the Taraweeh or Tahajjud prayers at the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah during the upcoming Ramadan 1447 AH (2026).
This is a big change after more than a decade of his regular inclusion in the prayer schedule for Ramadan month.
The adjustment follows earlier administrative updates in May 2025, when official publications from the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques no longer listed Sheikh Hameed among the permanent Imams of Masjid an-Nabawi.
He had been a prominent figure at the mosque, leading congregational prayers for over twelve years.
The annual schedule for Ramadan night prayers is determined by the Presidency, which coordinates the rotation of Imams for the intensive worship period.
The final list of Imams leading Taraweeh is typically announced shortly before the beginning of Ramadan. The Presidency has not issued a public statement regarding the change in Sheikh Hameed’s status.
