RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti, Sheikh Saleh bin Fawzan, has condemned attacks targeting visitors to the Holy Mosques of al-Haram and al-Nabawi, labeling such actions as reprehensible crimes. His remarks come in response to recent assaults attributed to Houthi militia forces.

In a statement reported by Arab media, Sheikh Fawzan emphasized the sanctity of these religious sites and the importance of protecting those who come to worship.

He expressed deep concern over the increasing violence and called for unity among Muslims to safeguard their holy places.

The Grand Mufti’s condemnation highlights the broader implications of these attacks, which not only threaten the safety of pilgrims but also challenge the stability of the region.

The sanctity of the Holy Mosques is a cornerstone of Islamic faith, and any violence against them is viewed as an affront to millions of Muslims worldwide.

As tensions escalate, Saudi authorities are expected to enhance security measures around these sacred sites.

The government may also engage in diplomatic efforts to address the ongoing conflict with the Houthi militia, aiming to prevent further violence and ensure the safety of pilgrims.
