Sheikh Hassan al-Saffar (Arabic: الشيخ حسن الصفار, born 1958) is a Shi'a scholar from Qatif, Saudi Arabia. He is considered one of the most important Shi'a leaders in Saudi Arabia. He established the Shi'a Islamic Reform Movement[2] in the early 1990s, which sought to improve the relations between the Shi'a and the ruling family.[3] On 23 October 2009, The Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre mentioned him as one of the 500 most influential Muslims in the world."[4]
