The King Fahad Mosque (also King Fahd Mosque) is a mosque located in Culver City, California in Los Angeles County, US. The mosque has a capacity of 2,000 worshippers and a 72-foot high (22 m) minaret.[1] The complex on about 77,500 square feet (7,200 m2) of land contains other facilities including a lecture and meeting hall and classrooms.[2]
The mosque was financed by Saudi Arabia, specifically by Fahd of Saudi Arabia, after whom it is named.[1] It cost $2.16 million according to the Embassy of Saudi Arabia,[2] and $8 million according to Washington Post.[3]
Prince Abdulaziz Bin Fahad Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, who was Minister of State and a Saudi cabinet member, provided funding for the land in 1993. King Fahad pledged funds for the construction of the building in 1995. Work began on the mosque in April 1996 and was opened in July 1998, with a ceremony and dinner attended by former chief of the White House staff John Sununu.[2]
The mosque is owned and managed by The Islamic Foundation of Shaikh Ibn Taymiyyah.
