MAKKAH: Shoura Council Chairman Saleh bin Homaid, who is also an imam of the Grand Mosque, said that Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais was still continuing in his position as one of the imams of the Grand Mosque.
He was denying website postings that said Al-Sudais had been dismissed from his position.
“Sudais, who is on his annual vacation, will return to Makkah and lead prayers on the first day of Ramadan," Homaid told Arab News.
Following the imam’s absence for around two months from prayers at the Grand Mosque, several websites recently said Al-Sudais had been dismissed by Grand Mufti Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh.
