The Ministry of Islamic Affairs, through its field monitoring teams in Riyadh, detected a school affiliated with a charity association, consisting of three educational and administrative floors, operating all its facilities using the mosque’s electricity meter.
In addition, the main entrance of the school was closed, and a side passage leading to the mosque was seized and converted into an entrance for the school. A roofed and equipped classroom was built inside that passage, which obstructed worshippers and residents of the neighborhood from accessing the mosque from that side. This passage was the closest and easiest for them to reach the mosque, forcing them to use farther routes and entrances.
