Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Local media in Saudi Arabia and activists on social media circulated video clips of the Kingdom’s Minister of Islamic Affairs, Call and Guidance, Abdul Latif Al Sheikh, and what he said about the requirement to lead the prayer in the mosques of Riyadh.
And the minister said in the circulating video clip: “The Najdi recitation is a very distinct recitation, and it has a specific pattern that is close to the soul and the spirit.
The minister continued, saying: “All the imams in Riyadh were asked to recite the Najdi recitation… We asked only the imams in the city of Riyadh to recite the Najdi recitation. As for other cities, this is according to the choice of the imam, his desire and his ability…”
He added: “We started and did many courses for imams, and we gave them an opportunity, and whoever cannot recite the Najd recitation, we will look for another job for him, and he is looking for him for an area near Riyadh where he can lead people in prayer…”
