The Yearly Kaaba' wash - 15th Muharram 1437

As a yearly ritual, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, Makkah, Emir Prince Khaled Al-Faisal along with President Haramain Sheikh Abdul Rehman Al-Sudais washed the Holy Kaaba today at 17th October 2016. The Kaaba is given ghusal twice in a year; once in the beginning of the Islamic year and second on the 1st of Shaban.




The interior walls of Kaaba were cleaned with a white cloth dipped in rose, ‘Aab-e-zam zam’ and musk perfumes. Zamzam water mixed with rose perfume was splashed on the floor and was wiped with bare hands and palm leaves. And around 45 liters of Zamzam water is utilized for the Kaaba Wash.




The Kiswa (the cloth covering the Kaaba) around the Black Stone corner and the boundaries of the Meezab Rahmah (the golden spout from where rainwater from the roof of the Kaaba falls) was adorned with golden borders this time. 

Security guards after paying 4 hours of duty during yearly Kaba wash were seen availing the opportunity to kiss black stone (Hajra.e.aswa) and pray at Multazim.
