Dallas Fort Worth, TX, August 13, 2026 —
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is proceeding with a project to install Islamic foot-washing stations in airport restrooms. The initiative, with an estimated cost of $300,000, aims to accommodate the needs of Muslim travelers who require ritual ablution before prayer.
The installation of these stations, known as ‘wudu’ facilities, is intended to provide a dedicated and clean space for passengers to perform their religious ablutions. This practice is a customary part of Islamic ritual purification.
