In 1925, however, following the capture of Hejaz, Ibn Saud continued the demolition of Shi'ite tombs. Even so, after securing his political rule, Ibn Saud opted for a quiet policy of partial coexistence, allowing some Shi'ites to run their own mosques. Nonetheless, anti-Shi'ite rhetoric prevailed into state institutions. In 1927, Wahhabi "ulamas" issued a "fatwa" (ruling) calling upon Shi'ites to convert to Sunni Islam. Across the Kingdom, many Shi'ite institutions were closed down, including mosques and community centres, whilst the commemoration of Ashura was prohibited. Publishing and distributing Shi'ite religious texts was further outlawed, alongside the Shi'ite call to prayer.
