Al-Azhar has vehemently denounced the assault on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of civilians and Umrah pilgrims. The group emphasized that targeting civilian infrastructure and pilgrims visiting Islam's two most sacred mosques is a severe provocation, a breach of humanitarian principles and international standards, and a direct threat to Saudi Arabia's security and territorial sovereignty.
Al-Azhar unequivocally denounced the series of attacks that have claimed the lives of innocent individuals and endangered the Kingdom's stability. The Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed al-Tayyeb, expressed deep sorrow for the Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz, the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi populace, and the families of the fallen.
He invoked Allah's mercy and forgiveness for the victims, wished the injured a swift recovery, and prayed for the protection of the Kingdom of the Two Holy Mosques and all Muslim nations from further harm and adversity, ensuring the enduring security, peace, and stability of their communities.
