Al-Azhar condemns the Houthis' targeting of Medina

The Houthis issue a statement about their “targeting” of a facility in Medina after their “bombing” of Mecca.

Al-Azhar stressed that compromising the security of Medina and the safety of its people, visitors, and visitors to the Prophet’s Mosque is incompatible with the sanctity of the Holy Places and their high status in the hearts of Muslims around the world.

Al-Azhar: Targeting the city is a provocation to Muslim feelings

Al-Azhar stressed that targeting Medina represents a provocation to the feelings of Muslims in various parts of the world, as it is the home of the migration of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, the home of his Noble Mosque, and the heart of Muslims in the east and west of the earth.

He pointed out that the great religious status enjoyed by Medina requires preserving its sanctity, preserving its security and safety, and not exposing it or its people and visitors to any danger.

Full solidarity with Saudi Arabia

Al-Azhar renewed its full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, stressing its rejection of everything that might harm the Kingdom’s security or territorial integrity.

At the conclusion of its statement, Al-Azhar called on God Almighty to protect the Kingdom and the land of the Two Holy Mosques from all harm and evil, and to perpetuate the blessing of security, stability and prosperity to the Kingdom and its people.
