The child, who was only 17 months old, was laid to rest in a moving funeral on Saturday afternoon in Riyadh, where family, relatives, and loved ones gathered to bid him farewell.

Emotional moments Mousa bin Turki, who often shared his family life with followers, posted heartbreaking clips on Snapchat from his son’s graveside, appearing devastated as he prayed for strength for himself and his wife, asking God to make Asaf their intercessor on the Day of Judgment.

A child loved by many From birth, Asaf had been part of his parents’ online presence, frequently appearing alongside his father Mousa and mother, YouTuber Yousha Abdulaziz. His presence endeared him to thousands of followers who watched him grow since his earliest days. Following news of his passing, social media was filled with photos and videos of the little boy as users collectively mourned his loss.

Funeral prayers and condolences The funeral prayer was held at Al-Rajhi Mosque in Riyadh before Asaf was buried in Al-Naseem Cemetery. Condolences are being received at the home of his uncle, Abdullah, in the Al-Qirawan district.

Shock and unanswered questions Although Mousa and Yousha shared the heartbreaking news with words of faith and patience, they did not disclose details of what happened. Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports circulated online, attributed to people close to the family, claiming that Asaf drowned after falling into a swimming pool while at his aunt’s house.
