Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque

This guide to the Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque, Qatar's largest, in Doha opens with a small girl weaving barefoot toward the mihrab before a guard turns her back. It traces the 2018 decision by the mosque's directorate to bar children under seven from Ramadan's evening and night prayers, and the sheikh who had to defend it. You'll hear how the debate split parents between those who wanted children raised inside the mosque and those relieved by the quiet. It also covers the building's 2011 completion and its namesake, an eighteenth-century Arabian preacher.
