Tariq Masood (born 1975) is a Pakistani Deobandi Islamic scholar, mufti, preacher, and author. He studied the Dars-i Nizami curriculum at Jamia Tur Rasheed in Karachi, where he specialised in Islamic jurisprudence and later taught in its Darul Iftaa. He also serves as imam of Masjid al-Falahia in Karachi. Masood is known for his Urdu sermons on family law, social ethics, and contemporary debates, which circulate widely on digital platforms, especially YouTube. His preaching style—combining humour, direct expression, and commentary on social issues—has attracted large audiences in Pakistan and among diaspora communities. Academic studies and media analyses have examined his role in digital religious discourse, including his appearances on popular podcasts and his use of social media. He is the author of Ek Se Za'id Shadiyon Ki Zarurat Kiyun?, in which he argues that polygamy is religiously sanctioned and may address certain social issues. His views on family law, gender roles, blasphemy, and politics have drawn both support and criticism, and he has been the subject of several public controversies. Alongside this, he has participated in state-backed initiatives against extremism and spoken at universities and conferences in Pakistan and abroad, including a lecture tour of Bangladesh in 2025.
