French authorities have said that imam Hassan Iquioussen has disappeared and most likely fled to Belgium after France's top administrative court on Tuesday gave the green light for his expulsion to Morocco.
The imam was accused by the court of hate speech.
The case landed before the highest court after Paris judges blocked the imam's deportation, which the interior ministry ordered in late July.
Iquioussen, 58, reaches tens of thousands of subscribers via YouTube and Facebook accounts from his home in northern France.
He was born in France but holds Moroccan citizenship.

A student opened fire in front of their high school in Türkiye's western province of Manisa early on Tuesday, wounding at least 11 other pupils, Justice Minister Akin Gurlek said.
Two of the wounded were in a critical condition, Gurleksaid. The assailant was caught and their mother, father, and grandfather — who owned the weapon used in the attack —have been detained, the minister added.
"When the security of our children is the issue, it is not possible for any negligence, any irresponsibility to be overlooked," the minister said on X, according to Reuters.
"The circumstances under which the child obtained the gun used in the attack, the conditions of the weapon's storage, the parents' obligations regarding care and supervision, and allegations of bullying prior to the incident are being investigated thoroughly and from multiple angles," Gurlek added.

Images and video posted online showed a male figure walking on a street near the school with a rifle in his hands. He was then seen running back from the same street.
Video outside the school showed police pushing away families and others outside the premises.
The motive for the attack was not immediately clear.
The local governor's office has said the attack took place at around 8:00 a.m. (0500 GMT) at the Inci Uzmez Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School in the Turgutlu district.
Two deadly school shootings in April caused outrage in Türkiye and prompted officials to bring innew security measures for the 2026-2027 academic year, including tighter gun controls.
Before then, the country had not had a history of such attacks.

Typhoon Dujuan left at least four people dead and 22 injured in Japan, while thousands of houses near Tokyo were without power after the storm swept through the region, authorities said Tuesday.
The typhoon moved away from Japan's coast and out into the Pacific by morning, allowing authorities to lift or downgrade most heavy rain and landslide warnings.
Dujuan had already led to the early closure in the capital of the one of the world's biggest video game trade fairs.
Japan often sees strong typhoons in the late summer and early autumn, with other storms this season disrupting some events at the Asian Games being held in the country.
The Fire and Disaster Management Agency said three people died in Chiba prefecture and one in Kanagawa region, both near Tokyo.
Search operations were continuing for six people missing after landslides triggered by torrential rain, the agency said, according to AFP.
More than 45,000 households in Chiba near Tokyo were still without electricity on Tuesday afternoon, while over 460 houses were damaged.
Although Dujuan weakened as it moved northeast, it dumped record rainfall in parts of the Tokyo area.
Oshima, an island about 120 kilometers (75 miles) south of central Tokyo, recorded 832 millimeters of rain over 48 hours, more than double its average rainfall for the whole of September, public broadcaster NHK reported.
Rainfall in Tokyo's Edogawa Ward reached a record 282.5 millimeters over 24 hours.
Scientists say human-driven climate change is intensifying the risk posed by heavy rains because a warmer atmosphere holds more water.

G7 foreign ministers on Monday called on Iran to end its arming and support of Houthis in Yemen, which they said constituted a dangerous pattern of escalation that risked undermining international trade and creating global instability.
“We condemn in the strongest terms the unacceptable continued strikes carried out by the Houthis in Yemen and against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” the ministers of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States said in a statement after a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
“We call on the Houthis to immediately cease all military actions, all threats and attacks against civilian shipping, and to return to the political process in good faith,” they added.
The G7 statement comes ahead of the annual General Assembly in New York, where senior Iranian officials are due to speak.
On Monday, the United Nations condemned the continued cross-border attacks by the Houthis against the Kingdom, including an attempted attack on Riyadh and attacks on civilians and energy infrastructure, calling on all parties to exercise restraint and prevent any further escalation.
During a press briefing, spokesperson for the Secretary-General Stephane Dujarric expressed deep concern over the ongoing military escalation in and around Yemen, including Houthi offensives in Taiz, Lahj, and Marib, and their grave consequences for civilians in Yemen and across the region.
Dujarric stressed the need to uphold obligations under international humanitarian law, including the prohibition of direct attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure.
