Summary
Amir Mounir is an Egyptian preacher and content creator, born in Cairo on 22 August 1993. His published biography records that his identity-card name is simply "Amir Mounir", and that he is a pharmacist holding a bachelor's degree in pharmacy. 1
His channel
His YouTube channel is "the official channel of Dr Amir Mounir", as its own description states, and it began on 11 April 2014. Platform statistics recorded 2,470,000 subscribers, 135,223,336 views and 821 videos for it on 23 October 2026 — dated platform figures that change constantly. Among his series on it are Abwab al-Janna (The Gates of Paradise) and Al-Sa'a Sab'a (The Seven O'Clock), and his lessons treat worship, daily life and young people's questions in accessible colloquial Arabic. 2
The Umra-by-proxy controversy
In 2023 Amir Mounir promoted an application that performs Umra on behalf of the incapacitated, the sick and the deceased for a fee. This drew wide controversy and sharp criticism; some scholars described it as trading in religion, the Egyptian Ministry of Awqaf issued a statement confirming that he has no connection with the ministry and no licence to preach, and Dar al-Ifta commented that the idea empties the rites of their meaning. Amir then deleted the promotional video and published another defending his position on the basis of juristic opinions permitting proxy pilgrimage. This section is reported as the sources attribute it to the parties involved; it is not a verdict by the museum. 1
