If you believe people deserve death for committing “immoral acts”, you are a religious extremist.
What is the truth?
On October 14, 2026, the two people sentenced to death in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, were *Nazrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siti Akhtar* from Bangladesh, and they weren't even husband and wife.
According to Bangladeshi media, Nazrul had gone to Saudi Arabia in 2022 as a cleaner, and Siti was working there.
In May 2023, about 1 month before Hajj, both were allegedly caught by Saudi security forces inside a mosque in Mecca committing immoral acts.
After that, they spent more than 3 years in jail, the trial took place in Jeddah court, and upon being found guilty, by royal order, they were hanged in Mecca on October 14, 2026. Their bodies were sent to Bangladesh on October 18.
Why was the punishment so severe?
Every mosque in Mecca has its own sanctity; it is connected to our Prophet ﷺ.
Under Saudi Arabia's "Public Decency Law," such acts in a mosque are strictly prohibited, and violating the sanctity in a Mecca mosque makes the case extremely serious under "Ta'zir," which can carry the death penalty.
According to the Saudi Ministry of Interior, the charges against both of committing "fi'al al-fahisha" inside the mosque—that is, a serious sexual act of an obscene nature / adultery—were proven.
Bangladesh's State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shama Obaid Islam herself confirmed this on October 17.
So the question isn't where they were from; the question is—will you respect the purity of Allah's house or not?
A mosque is a place of worship,
not shamelessness! Whoever does such a thing on Mecca's sacred land will surely face punishment.
Stop spreading rumors; understand the truth.
