The Governor of Riyadh visits Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan and praises his efforts
In a gesture that embodies the deep bond between the leadership and the scholars, and affirms the established values in Saudi society, His Royal Highness Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz, Governor of Riyadh Region, paid a friendly visit today to His Eminence Sheikh Dr. Saleh bin Fawzan bin Abdullah Al-Fawzan, member of the Council of Senior Scholars and member of the Permanent Committee for Fatwas, at his home in Riyadh.
Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan welcomed the visit of His Royal Highness the Prince of Riyadh, expressing his delight at this meeting, which reflects the keenness of the rulers to maintain continuous communication with scholars and sheikhs. During the meeting, Sheikh Al-Fawzan commended the significant and tangible efforts exerted by Prince Faisal bin Bandar in managing the affairs of the Riyadh region and his meticulous oversight of development projects that serve citizens and residents. He prayed to God Almighty to protect the wise leadership and to grant His Royal Highness success and guidance in serving the religion, the King, and the nation.
The depth of the historical relationship between leadership and scholars
This visit comes within the context of a consistent and stable approach in Saudi policy since the founding of the state, where scholars enjoy a high status and special esteem from the royal family. This relationship is not a recent development, but rather an extension of a long historical legacy linking the political leadership and religious authority, forming a fundamental pillar of the stability and unity of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Visits by princes and officials to scholars in their homes serve as a clear message affirming the continuation of this approach based on mutual respect and reverence.
The importance of the visit and its social implications
Such visits carry significant social and national implications, reinforcing the concept of "one family" within Saudi society and highlighting the policy of open communication and direct interaction without barriers. Furthermore, the praise from a scholar of Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan's stature for the efforts of the Governor of Riyadh carries considerable weight, given the Sheikh's credibility and the high regard in which he is held by the people. This strengthens confidence in the government's efforts to develop the capital and improve the services provided there.
Riyadh... a workshop that never stops
This praise coincides with the great development movement that the Riyadh region is witnessing under the supervision of His Highness Prince Faisal bin Bandar, as the capital is experiencing major transformations within the objectives of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. Managing a city the size of Riyadh, with its increasing population and mega projects, requires exceptional administrative and field efforts, which is what Sheikh Al-Fawzan pointed out in his speech, appreciating the dedication to serving the public interest and addressing the needs of citizens.
