Jeffrey Epstein Scandal Deepens as Reports Claim He Received Kaaba Covering, Used It as Floor Cloth

The long-running Jeffrey Epstein saga has taken a shocking new turn as newly released documents from the U.S. Department of Justice suggest the disgraced financier received sacred pieces of the Kaaba’s Kiswa — the revered black-and-gold cloth used to cover Islam’s holiest site in Mecca. The revelation has sparked outrage across the Muslim world, with reports and circulated images claiming Epstein placed the sacred textile on the floor of his residence.

According to details emerging from the latest batch of “Epstein Files,” three pieces associated with the Kiswa were shipped to Epstein in 2017. The shipment was reportedly coordinated by Aziza Al-Ahmadi, described in some reports as a well-connected businesswoman and an adviser linked to Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Email records show Al-Ahmadi and a Saudi intermediary arranged for the textile pieces to be transported via international freight to one of Epstein’s U.S. properties.

A photograph circulating in media reports and online discussions appears to show Epstein standing beside Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman of DP World and one of the most influential business leaders in the UAE. On the floor between them lies a black-and-gold cloth identified by several outlets as part of the Kaaba’s Kiswa. The image has intensified public anger, with many calling it a desecration of one of Islam’s most sacred symbols.

While the image suggests the cloth was placed on the floor, there is no official confirmation that Epstein used the revered textile as a carpet in his home. However, the mere presence of the Kiswa in Epstein’s possession — a man convicted of sex crimes — has provoked widespread condemnation and raised urgent questions about how such a sacred item could have ended up in his custody.

The Kiswa, replaced annually during the Hajj season, is traditionally distributed only through tightly controlled religious channels, with most pieces reserved for Islamic institutions, respected scholars, and official dignitaries. The idea that fragments were shipped to Epstein, of all people, has left many Muslims stunned and outraged.

Critics and religious figures across social media have demanded transparency from all individuals linked to the transfer, including Al-Ahmadi and Sultan bin Sulayem, though neither has publicly commented on the reports as of press time.

The controversy adds to ongoing scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s global network of high-profile associates. It also raises broader questions about the misuse, mishandling, or unauthorized gifting of Islamic sacred items — an issue that scholars say must be investigated thoroughly to prevent future violations.

As public anger grows, many Muslim groups are calling for official clarification from Saudi and UAE authorities, insisting that such a sensitive matter cannot be ignored.

The story continues to unfold as analysts examine more documents from the Epstein archive, which has already implicated several powerful figures across politics, business, and entertainment.
