Coutinho was able to join Al Duhail despite the Premier League transfer window closing last week because the Qatari deadline is not until September 18.
"Aston Villa can confirm Philippe Coutinho has completed a season-long loan move to Al Duhail," a club statement said.
"The Brazilian signed for Villa on loan initially in January 2022 and immediately sparkled in claret and blue, scoring on his debut against Manchester United.
"His impressive performances would later see his move to Villa Park from Barcelona turn permanent and he has made 43 appearances for the club, scoring six goals."
