King Mohammed VI of Morocco will perform the Eid al-Adha prayer on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, corresponding to 10 Dhu al-Hijjah 1447 AH, at the Ahl Fès Mosque in the Mechouar district of Rabat, according to a statement from the Ministry of the Royal Household, Protocol, and Chancellery.
The announcement, released on May 26, 2026, confirms the monarch's traditional participation in the communal prayer marking the Islamic holiday of sacrifice. The ceremony will take place in the presence of senior officials and members of the royal family.
Eid al-Adha, one of the two major Islamic festivals, commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. The holiday involves prayer, charity, and the ritual sacrifice of livestock, with meat distributed to the needy.
The Ahl Fès Mosque, located near the Royal Palace in Rabat, has historically been the venue for the king's Eid prayers. The ministry's statement did not specify any changes to the usual protocol for the event.
