Sheikh Saleh bin Humaid to deliver Arafah sermon during Hajj 2025
RIYADH: Sheikh Saleh bin Humaid will deliver the Arafah sermon during this year's Hajj, the Presidency of Religious Affairs announced on Sunday.
The day of Arafah (the 9th of Dhul Hijjah) is widely considered the pinnacle of Hajj, marking the most important day for pilgrims. Muslims around the world who are not performing the pilgrimage mark the day by fasting and engaging in worship.
The sermon is delivered from Masjid Al-Nimra on Mount Arafat before Dhuhr and Asr prayers are performed together on Dhul Hijjah 9.
Head of Religious Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque Sheikh Abdulrahman Al-Sudais thanked King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the appointment.
The appointment underscores the Kingdom's global religious leadership, reflects its continued support for religious institutions, and exemplifies the leadership's care for the two holy mosques, the presidency said.

Israeli Strikes Wipe Out Sanaa Return Option for Yemeni Pilgrims
A senior Yemeni official said the government has drawn up comprehensive plans for the post-Hajj period this year, aiming to ensure the safe return of all Yemeni pilgrims, including those travelling from areas controlled by the Iran-aligned Houthi militia, through multiple air and land border crossings. Yemen's Minister of Endowments and Guidance, Dr. Mohammed bin Aida Shabiba, told Asharq Al-Awsat the government, in coordination with relevant authorities, has put in place 'realistic and secure alternative plans to ensure the safe return of Yemeni pilgrims, whether through Seiyun or Aden airports, or via the Al-Wadiah land crossing.' He added that logistical preparations had been stepped up to facilitate smooth transportation and reception operations. Meanwhile, pilgrims began arriving in Mina on Wednesday, the 8th of Dhu al-Hijjah, for the Day of Tarwiyah, chanting prayers and praises as part of the annual Hajj rituals. Roughly 64% of pilgrims were expected to spend the day in Mina, while 36% were set to head directly to Mount Arafat for the main rite of standing at Arafat. After sunset, they will travel to Muzdalifah to spend the night, before returning to Mina to observe the ritual stoning of the three pillars - Jamarat al-Aqaba, the Middle Jamarah, and the Small Jamarah - on the 10th, 11th, 12th, and for some, the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah. The number of Yemeni pilgrims performing Hajj this season stands at 24,255, the official quota allocated to Yemen by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. Separately, Israel has launched nine retaliatory strikes in recent months, destroying Sanaa International Airport and the last civilian aircraft operating there, in addition to targeting ports in Hodeidah, power stations, and two cement factories. The attacks came after the Iran-backed Houthi group fired around 32 ballistic missiles and launched multiple drones at Israel since March. Most of the projectiles caused no significant damage, although one missile exploded near Ben Gurion Airport on May 4 after Israeli air defenses failed to intercept it due to a technical malfunction. Last year, the Houthis seized four civilian aircraft belonging to Yemen Airways, disrupting the travel plans of more than 1,300 pilgrims who remained stranded in the holy sites for an extended period. In a bid to prevent any similar delays this year, Shabiba said the Ministry of Endowments and Guidance had developed a comprehensive post-Hajj plan from the outset. The plan covers all Yemeni pilgrims, with particular attention to those coming from Houthi-held areas, whose suffering has been compounded by the recent Israeli airstrikes that destroyed their aircraft at Sanaa International Airport. 'The Houthi militia recklessly endangered their lives for political gain,' Shabiba said, accusing the group of exploiting the situation at the pilgrims' expense. Shabiba added that the Israeli strikes had 'effectively eliminated the option of air travel via Sanaa,' posing a further challenge to the government's efforts. 'Despite these obstacles,' he said, 'the Ministry, in constant coordination with Yemen Airways, the Land Transport Authority, and all concerned agencies, has developed realistic and secure alternatives to ensure the safe return of all pilgrims. These include flights through Seiyun and Aden airports, as well as travel via the Al-Wadiah land crossing. Preparations have been ramped up to ensure smooth transportation and reception procedures.' The minister also expressed his 'gratitude and appreciation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its leadership and government, particularly the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince, for their generous support and exceptional measures to ensure the comfort of Yemeni pilgrims throughout their journey, from arrival to accommodation and onward travel.'

Yemen's New PM Takes Office in Aden Amid Deep Economic Crisis
Yemen's newly appointed Prime Minister, Salem Saleh bin Braik, officially assumed office in the interim capital Aden after returning from Riyadh alongside Presidential Leadership Council head Rashad al-Alimi, amid worsening economic conditions and deteriorating public services in the war-ravaged country. Bin Braik takes the helm as Yemen grapples with one of its most severe economic downturns in recent years. The local currency has plunged to a record low, with the US dollar trading at over 2,500 Yemeni rials, fueling inflation and deepening humanitarian needs. Citizens in government-held areas are hoping the new prime minister can halt the currency's freefall and improve crumbling services, particularly electricity, after years of war have drained public resources and infrastructure. In his first cabinet meeting, attended by Al-Alimi, bin Braik outlined his vision and roadmap for the coming period, describing directives from the presidential council as an urgent framework aimed at 'containing economic and service deterioration, alleviating humanitarian suffering, and strengthening the state's legal authority.' He listed key priorities including financial and monetary policy reform, activating oversight and accountability mechanisms, and combating corruption. Bin Braik has called for sweeping institutional reforms and national cooperation as he assumes office, vowing to restore oversight bodies and stabilize the economy amid a worsening crisis in government-held areas. Speaking during his first cabinet meeting in Aden, bin Braik said the reactivation of key institutions such as the Supreme Anti-Corruption Commission, the High Tender Committee, and the Tender Oversight Authority was 'imperative and necessary' to strengthen transparency and support other watchdog bodies. He also stressed the need for Yemen's parliament and consultative council to resume sessions from Aden. Bin Braik pledged to empower the central bank to fully perform its functions and regain control over public revenues, insisting that all liberated provinces must deposit their income into the bank. 'Success in these efforts,' he said, 'requires broad national integration and cooperation between the government, local authorities, and political components.' The prime minister urged Yemen's political parties, media professionals, and activists to adopt a unified national discourse and engage in constructive criticism, stressing that 'this phase does not allow for political rivalries or narrow calculations.' In a message directed to the public, particularly women and youth, bin Braik reaffirmed his government's commitment to supporting their causes, empowering them, and addressing their aspirations within a clear institutional framework. 'We don't want to put the country onto a civil-war track, but believe me, this is not going to affect our commitment to the need to extend and consolidate the authority of the state,' Salam said.
