University Mosque Closure Sparks Debate
The decision to close Abdullah Abu Khadijah Mosque at the Applied Sciences University has sparked controversy, following reports indicating that the building is at risk of collapse and that the closure was made to protect worshippers. The Minister of Awqaf (Endowments) clarified that the university and its Board of Trustees have committed to demolishing the current building and reconstructing a new mosque on the same site, at the university's expense, without any intention of turning the location into a commercial project. This move comes in response to an assessment of the building’s structural safety, and not for investment purposes, with the university confirming that the site is designated solely for prayer.
