طویل عرصے سے مقدس کعبہ کے متولی ڈاکٹر صالح بن زین العابدین الشیبی انتقال
کر گئے۔
Dr. Saleh bin Zain al-Abidin Al-Shaibi, the revered custodian and key holder of the Holy Kaaba, has passed away after a prolonged illness, as reported by Saudi media. Dr. Saleh was the 109th individual to hold this prestigious position, a role that has been a profound honor for the al-Shaibi family for centuries.
Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have expressed their heartfelt condolences over the passing of Dr. Saleh. His dedication to his duties and his commitment to the sacred role left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

Dr. Saleh had visited Pakistan last year on a six-day tour, during which he met with the top leadership of the country. As the custodian of the Kaaba, his responsibilities included the care and maintenance of the Kaaba, managing the opening and closing of its doors, washing the Kaaba, and preparing and repairing the Kiswa (the covering of the Kaaba) as needed. His passing marks the end of an era for the al-Shaibi family and the broader Muslim community.
