A number of religious scholars and preachers including Sheikh Salman Al-Awdah, Sheikh Nabil Al-Awadi, Sheikh Mohammad Al-Arifi, and Sheikh Nasser Al-Omar offered their condolences to Sheikh Al-Munajjid. On Tuesday, Sheikh Al-Awdah posted on Twitter, “May Allaah have mercy on Anas Al-Munajjid and accept him among the righteous, and may He inspire his family and loved ones’ patience and firm faith. Surely we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return.” Sheikh Al-Awadi tweeted, “Please accept my condolences Sheikh Mohammad Al-Munajjid in the death of your son Anas. May Allaah forgive him, have mercy on him, ease this calamity on you and reunite you all in paradise.”
