Weather of Arabia - A ceremony was held to hand over the key of the Holy Kaaba to the Sheikh, Abd al-Wahhab bin Zain al-Abidin al-Shaibi, to be the 78th ruler in supervision of the Kaaba, succeeding the late Dr. Saleh al-Shaibi, who died a few days ago at the age of eighty years.

After handing over the key to the Holy Kaaba, the 78th ruler, Sheikh Abdul Wahhab bin Zain Al-Abidin Al-Shaibi, asked God to grant him success in carrying out this work under the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and his Crown Prince.

For his part, Sheikh Nizar Al-Shaibi explained to the media channels that it is customary to hand over the key of the Kaaba to the eldest in the family, and his first task will be to hand over the Kaaba dress and dress it with the bangs of Muharram.

The profession of gardener in Mecca

The profession of gardener is considered one of the most ancient and honorable professions in the Holy Mosque of Mecca. The ruler alone carries the key to the Holy Kaaba, and is responsible for all its affairs, including changing its covering, washing it, perfuming it, and opening and closing it. This high-level profession has been confined to the Al-Shaibi family since the conquest of Mecca at the beginning of the Islamic era, when the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, ordered that the custodianship be for the companion Shaybah ibn Uthman ibn Abi Talha and his descendants after him.
