Historical Information
editThe Sa'ad and Sa'eed Mosque derives its name from two local merchants renowned for their dedication to preserving the Waqf in the city.[1] It was constructed in its current state in 1905 on the Waqf property of Shams al-Din al-Bulqini.[2]
The mosque was demolished in 1956 by the Israeli armed forces,[clarification needed] and since 2011, there have been Israeli attempts to occupy the territory. The custodian of the endowment appeared before the court and presented a legal argument to prove that the Waqf had a history of 400 years and was duly registered in the Ottoman land registry.[3][4]
On July 19, 2022, an unauthorized individual forcibly entered the mosque. Palestinians claimed the man to be an Israeli settler.[5]
Muslims come to pray at the mosque every day, except during the Friday prayer.[6]
