Saudi Grand Mufti Condemns Attacks on Visitors to Holy Mosques

October 15, 2026 • 2 hours ago •

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

In a statement reported by Arab media on October 13, 2026, Sheikh Al-Fawzan emphasized the sanctity of these religious sites and the importance of protecting those who come to perform their religious duties. He described the attacks as not only an affront to the sanctity of Islam but also a violation of international norms regarding the protection of places of worship.

The Grand Mufti’s condemnation highlights the ongoing tensions in the region, particularly concerning the Houthi militia’s actions, which have raised concerns among both local and international communities. The attacks threaten not only the safety of pilgrims but also the broader stability of the region, as they could escalate tensions between Saudi Arabia and its adversaries.

In light of these developments, Saudi authorities are expected to enhance security measures around the Holy Mosques to ensure the safety of visitors. Additionally, diplomatic efforts may be intensified to address the ongoing conflict with the Houthi militia and seek a resolution that prioritizes peace and security in the region.
