    Royal directive moves the Kaaba kiswah change to 1 Muharram

    A royal directive issued on 4 July 2022 (5 Dhu al-Hijjah 1443) set the handover of the Kaaba's new kiswah to its chief custodian for Eid al-Adha and moved the replacement to 1 Muharram 1444. The change, long held on the Day of Arafah, thus shifted to the Islamic New Year.
