Sheikh Saad bin Mohammed Al-Saif is the Saudi deputy minister of justice. He was appointed to this position in February 2018 following a royal order. He succeeded Ahmad Al-Humaidan.
Previously, he served as a judge at the General Court of Riyadh, and at the Court of Appeal in Al-Jawf.
Moreover, he also served as the president of the Court of Civil Affairs in Riyadh. During his tenure there, he resolved pending cases in the court concerning minors, and related to family issues.
An orderly system was set up to adjudicate important cases within two days in general or a maximum of 10 working days, in contrast to several months in the past.
Al-Saif holds a bachelor’s degree in Islamic law from Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh, and a master’s degree from Riyadh’s Higher Judicial Institute.
The Saudi Ministry of Justice signed a memorandum of cooperation with China on Sunday to share and exchange information and experiences in the field of the judiciary.
The deputy justice minister signed the memorandum with his Chinese counterpart Chung Chungwa at a ceremony held in Riyadh.
The memorandum stated the two sides agreed to establish the basis for cooperation in the area of legislation, legal dissemination and dissemination of legal knowledge, management of notaries, institutional operational management and technical support, and capacity-building for judicial administration officials.
Al-Saif said the measure will help strengthen cooperation between the two countries in various fields.
Since the establishment of ties, the relations between the two countries have witnessed sustained development.
Saudi Arabia considers itself an essential partner in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which will have a great economic and social impact on the world.
There are hundreds of Saudi students in Chinese universities, and the Kingdom has opened a branch of the King Abdul Aziz Public Library in Beijing to encourage exchanges between scholars, researchers and students in both countries.

US Congress honors Muslim World League chief for efforts to combat hate
WASHINGTON: Members of the US Congress from both the Republican and Democratic parties have honored the secretary-general of the Muslim World League in recognition of the organization’s efforts to combat hate and promote coexistence among religious communities.
The honor was presented to Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa at the US Capitol in Washington, D.C., where members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate signed a certificate commending the MWL’s role in strengthening social cohesion and supporting initiatives aimed at reducing conflict and division in diverse societies.
The certificate highlighted the league’s international efforts to counter racist attitudes and hate-driven narratives that threaten the security and dignity of people of different faiths and ethnic backgrounds.
Leaders from the Muslim community who attended the ceremony described the recognition as an honor for the wider Muslim community in the US, noting that it marked a first-of-its-kind event at the Capitol.
Commenting on the honor, Al-Issa said the efforts being recognized reflected Islamic values that call for global peace and harmony within societies.
He reaffirmed the MWL’s commitment to promoting constructive dialogue and cooperation to foster greater understanding and awareness.
He added that embracing diversity and engaging with differences through reasoned and civilized dialogue, rather than conflict, remained central to the league’s work in addressing global challenges related to intolerance and division.
