Due to the intense heat in Makkah and Madinah, President Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al Sudais has directed Khateebs of the Two Holy Mosques to shorten the Jummah Khutbah and Salat on Friday, June 7, 2024.
Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al Sudais, who serves as the President of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques, emphasized that the well-being of the worshippers is of utmost importance.
The Middle East is no stranger to high temperatures, but the extreme heat wave gripping the region has prompted proactive measures to safeguard the health and comfort of the faithful.
For those planning to attend Jummah prayers tomorrow, this directive means a shorter Khutbah and Salat. Worshippers can expect the prayers to be concise but meaningful, allowing them to fulfill their religious obligations without being overly exposed to extreme weather conditions.
The Khutbah typically serves as an essential part of the Friday prayers, offering spiritual guidance and reflection. By making it brief, the Khateebs can provide crucial messages without extended exposure to the heat.
The situation will likely be closely monitored, and further adjustments may be made to prayer schedules and durations if needed.
Worshippers are encouraged to stay updated on any further announcements from the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques. Measures may continue to evolve based on the weather forecast and health advisories.
