Led by Sheikh Maher Al Muaiqly, the congregation continued undeterred, with many worshippers covering themselves with scarves, prayer mats, or umbrellas while others embraced the downpour.
Videos shared on social media captured the serene sight of pilgrims praying around the Kaaba amid rain-soaked marble floors.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has since issued a yellow alert for the Makkah region, cautioning about moderate rainfall, winds, and reduced visibility.
