AIJibril Al-Busaili, a member of the Council of Senior Scholars and the Fatwa Committee, stated that Houthi attacks on the Kingdom and its airports, as well as obstructing Muslims from reaching the holy sites, constitute a violation of both Islamic and humanitarian boundaries.
Speaking to Al-Ikhbariya Radio, Al-Busaili said that the actions of this rebellious group, which has overstepped religious limits, are criminal by all standards and have resulted in the loss of innocent lives.
He added that such acts are sinful, as they prevent people from the path of God, hinder access to the Grand Mosque, show disrespect for sacred rituals, and aim to damage the Two Holy Mosques and block pilgrims from reaching them.
Al-Busaili continued that these attacks deliberately target airports that transport millions of Muslims to the holy sites, instilling fear and endangering lives. He noted that God has made the Sacred House a place of safety and warned of severe consequences for anyone who even contemplates wrongdoing within its sanctuary.
