In an official statement, the General Presidency for Religious Affairs clarified that neither the Imams nor Khateebs of Makkah’s Grand Mosque and Madinah’s Prophet’s Mosque operate any personal social media profiles.

Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Soli, official spokesperson, warned against proliferating fake content, including AI-generated audio clips and impersonated accounts.

All official communications are released exclusively through the General Presidency’s verified channels.

The Presidency stressed that even social media accounts with “verified” badges or blue ticks claiming to represent Kaaba or Masjid an-Nabawi Imams are unauthorized. Legal action will be taken against those creating or disseminating false material.

Recent months have seen sophisticated forgeries, including deepfake videos falsely depicting senior Imams. Authorities are removing such content in coordination with cybersecurity agencies. The public is urged to verify information through official sources only.

Saudi Arabia’s cybercrime laws impose severe penalties for impersonating religious figures, including imprisonment. The Presidency reaffirmed its commitment to preserving Islamic teachings and protecting the sanctity of the holy sites.
