عُضْوًا فِي مَجْلِسِ كُلِّيَّةِ الشَّرِيعَةِ وَأُصُولِ الدِّينِ بِفَرْعِ جَامِعَةِ الْإِمَامِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُعُودٍ الْإِسْلَامِيَّةِ فِي الْقَصِيمِ وَرَئِيسًا لِقِسْمِ الْعَقِيدَةِ فِيهَا.

He served on the council of the College of Sharia and Fundamentals of Religion at the Qassim branch of Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University, where he also chaired the Department of Creed.

وَفِي آخِرِ فَتْرَةِ تَدْرِيسِهِ بِالْمَعْهَدِ الْعِلْمِيِّ شَارَكَ فِي عُضْوِيَّةِ لَجْنَةِ الْخُطَطِ وَالْمَنَاهِجِ لِلْمَعَاهِدِ الْعِلْمِيَّةِ، وَأَلَّفَ عَدَدًا مِنَ الْكُتُبِ الْمُقَرَّرَةِ بِهَا.

During his final years teaching at the Scientific Institute, he sat on the committee for curricula and planning, authoring several of the textbooks used there.

عُضْوًا فِي لَجْنَةِ التَّوْعِيَةِ فِي مَوْسِمِ الْحَجِّ مِنْ عَامِ ١٣٩٢هـ إِلَى وَفَاتِهِ -رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى حَيْثُ كَانَ يُلْقِي دُرُوسًا وَمُحَاضَرَاتٍ فِي مَكَّةَ وَالْمَشَاعِرِ، وَيُفْتِي فِي الْمَسَائِلِ وَالْأَحْكَامِ الشَّرْعِيَّةِ.

From 1392 AH until his passing, may Allah have mercy on him, he served on the Hajj Awareness Committee, delivering lectures in Makkah and the holy sites while providing religious guidance and legal rulings.

تَرَأَّسَ جَمْعِيَّةَ تَحْفِيظِ الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيمِ الْخَيْرِيَّةِ فِي عُنَيْزَةَ مِنْ تَأْسِيسِهَا عَامِ ١٤٠٥ هـ إِلَى وَفَاتِهِ.

He presided over the Charitable Association for Memorizing the Holy Quran in Unaizah from its founding in 1405 AH until his death.

أَلْقَى مُحَاضَرَاتٍ عَدِيدَةً دَاخِلَ الْمَمْلَكَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ السُّعُودِيَّةِ عَلَى فِئَاتٍ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ، كَمَا أَلْقَى مُحَاضَرَاتٍ عَبْرَ الْهَاتِفِ عَلَى تَجَمُّعَاتٍ وَمَرَاكِزَ إِسْلَامِيَّةٍ فِي جِهَاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ مِنَ الْعَالَمِ.

He delivered numerous lectures to diverse audiences across Saudi Arabia and reached gatherings and Islamic centers worldwide through telephone lectures.

مِنْ عُلَمَاءِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ الْكِبَارِ الَّذِينَ يُجِيبُونَ عَلَى أَسْئِلَةِ الْمُسْتَفْسِرِينَ حَوْلَ أَحْكَامِ الدِّينِ وَأُصُولِهِ عَقِيدَةً وَشَرِيعَةً، وَذَلِكَ عَبْرَ الْبَرَامِجِ الْإِذَاعِيَّةِ مِنَ الْمَمْلَكَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ السُّعُودِيَّةِ وَأَشْهَرُهَا بَرْنَامَجُ نُورٌ عَلَى الدَّرْبِ.

As one of the Kingdom’s senior scholars, he addressed questions on creed and religious law through Saudi radio broadcasts, most notably the program Light on the Path.

نَذَرَ نَفْسَهُ لِلْإِجَابَةِ عَلَى أَسْئِلَةِ السَّائِلِينَ مُهَاتَفَةً وَمُكَاتَبَةً وَمُشَافَهَةً.

He dedicated himself to answering inquiries by phone, in writing, and in person.

رَتَّبَ لِقَاءَاتٍ عِلْمِيَّةً مَجْدُولَةً أُسْبُوعِيَّةً وَشَهْرِيَّةً وَسَنَوِيَّةً.

He organized a structured schedule of weekly, monthly, and annual scholarly meetings.

شَارَكَ فِي الْعَدِيدِ مِنَ الْمُؤْتَمَرَاتِ الَّتِي عُقِدَتْ فِي الْمَمْلَكَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ السُّعُودِيَّةِ.

He participated in many conferences held throughout Saudi Arabia.

وَلِأَنَّهُ يَهْتَمُّ بِالسُّلُوكِ التَّرْبَوِيِّ وَالْجَانِبِ الْوَعْظِيِّ اعْتَنَى بِتَوْجِيهِ الطُّلَّابِ.

His commitment to moral conduct and spiritual exhortation led him to focus deeply on guiding his students.
