A number of preachers loyal to the Houthi militias retreated in some mosques in Sana'a Governorate, contradicting the Houthi directions regarding the Companions, after delaying their financial dues.

Citizens said that some preachers in the Bilad al-Rus District in Sana’a Governorate retracted their previous positions, and “appeased” the three caliphs, “Abu Bakr, Omar, and Othman,” despite the directives of the so-called Guidance Council, not to mention them in the Friday sermon.

The sources added that the position of the preachers came in response to the delay in their financial dues, which prompted the militias to draw up a list of preachers who had done so in preparation for replacing them with others.

The sources indicated that the Houthi militia is trying to attract preachers from Dawa groups, Salafists and the Islah Party to support it by exploiting the Palestinian cause and its false heroism.

The Houthi militia imposes the Friday sermon written by the so-called Guidance Council, and is content with appeasing the fourth caliph to Ibn Abi Talib, his sons, and his wife Fatima al-Zahra only, without mentioning the rest of the three caliphs.
