The mosque had a minaret until 2012, which the Department of Islamic Affairs demolished due to extensive water leakage from beneath it and the minaret's tilt.<ref>https://www.okaz.com.sa/local/na/1526706</ref> Since then, the mosque has been in its current state with one dome and no minaret. | The mosque had a minaret until 2012, which the Department of Islamic Affairs demolished due to extensive water leakage from beneath it and the minaret's tilt.<ref>https://www.okaz.com.sa/local/na/1526706</ref> Since then, the mosque has been in its current state with one dome and no minaret. | ||
