Saudi Arabia’s cabinet has ruled that the law protecting public facilities will apply to mosques and their facilities. The measure will remain in force until the draft endowment law takes effect.

The decision was made at a cabinet meeting in Riyadh on September 29, 2026, chaired by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman.

At the same meeting, the cabinet approved an agreement with Türkiye to mutually waive visa requirements for holders of diplomatic and special passports. It also approved a memorandum with Syria on preventing and combating corruption.

The ministers of culture and health were authorised to negotiate draft cooperation memorandums with the Smithsonian Institution in the United States and Djibouti’s Ministry of Health, respectively.
