Yousef Saanei was born in Nikabad ( Iran ) in 1937, in a family of Shiite theologians. In 1946, Saanei was enrolled in Isfahan Seminary , and in 1951 he entered Qom to continue his studies. For his zeal and exemplary diligence, one of the largest Shiite religious leaders of that time - the great Ayatollah Borujerdi - awarded him with a special recommendation.

He attained the rank of Ijtihad at the age of 22, and since 38 years has been teaching Islamic sciences at the Kharij level.
