The Regional Delegation of Islamic Affairs in Fes has announced the immediate closure of the Moulay Idriss I Mosque following a technical report indicating severe structural damage that poses a risk of collapse and threatens the safety of visitors. As a precautionary measure, the mosque will remain closed for prayers to ensure the safety of worshippers and visitors, and warnings have been issued to residents of the surrounding area.
As part of the preventive measures, the renovation work began on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, with the demolition of the mosque’s minaret, which was identified as part of the deteriorating structure. The demolition was overseen by the Delegate of the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs in Fes, along with local authorities, highlighting coordinated efforts to prioritize public safety and provide a secure environment for the community.
Authorities and the Regional Delegation of Islamic Affairs are closely monitoring the reconstruction project, ensuring that the mosque’s historical and religious value is preserved while guaranteeing the safety of visitors and worshippers.
The renovation of the Moulay Idriss I Mosque is crucial, particularly with the large-scale construction work on the Imouzzer Road and the approaching sports events in the city of Fes. These renovations are vital for logistical preparations, but the mosque’s ongoing structural issues must be addressed urgently to prevent further damage.
