His friends and family met Al Kabeer a few hours before the execution. Waiting for the execution, Al Kabeer spent his time praying and reading the Quran until the
Fajr prayer. At about 7:00 am, the prison warden took him to the place where the prince was to write his
last will. After he performed
ablution, at 11:00 am, he was taken to the mosque. During the final hour before execution, Al Kabeer's father tried to convince the victim's father to forgive him and to accept
diyah. However, the victim's father declined the diya offer and refused to forgive his son's killer. Thus, the execution proceeded immediately after
Asr prayer at 4:13 pm. Al Kabeer's execution started significant discussion on Saudi social media, with commentators from around the country commending the Saudi authorities' decision to treat him like any other Saudi citizen. ==See also==
