Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, performed on Tuesday the funeral prayer for Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Al-Sheikh, whose passing was announced by the Royal Court earlier in the day.

The prayer was performed at the Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque in Riyadh.

Following the prayer, Crown Prince Mohammed and the deceased’s sons received condolences from princes and religious scholars.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud had ordered that funeral prayers in absentia also be performed at the Grand Mosque in Makkah, the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah, and in all mosques across the Kingdom.

With his passing, the Kingdom and the Islamic world have lost a distinguished scholar who made significant contributions to the service of Islam and Muslims, said the Royal Court.

King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed offered their condolences to his family, the Saudi people, and the Islamic world.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
