Seyed Mohammad Yasrebi Persian: سید محمد یثربی is an Iranian Grand Ayatollah. He currently resides between Qom, where his main office is situated, and Kashan, where he is the head of the Islamic seminary. He holds classes in both Qom and Kashan where he teaches advanced levels in Islamic studies, otherwise known as 'Darse Kharij'. He often leads big prayers, such as Eid Prayers in Kashan. His father, Seyed Mahdi Yasrebi, was the founder of the Kashan Islamic seminary.
Yasrebi was born into a very religious family with several known scholars. He moved to Kashan with his family at the age of five. His father, Seyed Mahdi, was the first Friday Prayer leader of Kashan, after the 1979 Iranian revolution chosen by Ruhollah Khomeini.[1] His uncle, Seyed Ali Yasrebi Kashani, was a prominent seminary teacher and among the teachers of Seyed Ruhollah Khomeini.[2]
From 1975, he pursued advanced studies in Qom under Morteza Haeri and prominent authorities such as Vahid Khorasani, Seyyed Mohammad Rouhani, and Mohammad Reza Golpaygani. He also attended philosophy lessons (Asfar) taught by Ayatollah Sadr, Morteza Motahhari, and Abdullah Javadi Amoli.[3]

Yasrebi began teaching advanced “Dars-e Kharij” (advanced jurisprudence and principles) in 1999.[3] In 1990, he founded the “Allameh Mojaddad Vahid Behbahani Scientific Research Institute” for the research and publication of books in Islamic sciences.[4] This institute is active in the seminary and holds more than five thousand volumes of books and numerous treatises.
