Al-Asfour Family confirms the Sun will be directly above the Holy Kaaba next Wednesday
The article refers to the phenomenon of the sun's meridian over the Kaaba, which will occur for the second time in 2026 on Wednesday, July 15th, at exactly 12:27 PM Mecca time. It explains that this phenomenon happens due to the Earth's axial tilt of approximately 23.5 degrees and serves as a practical method for determining the Qibla direction, as the sun reaches its highest point and shadows disappear. It is also noted that this event occurs twice a year, at the end of May and in mid-July, depending on the sun's position in the sky.
