A newly uncovered document from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shows that Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport will install dedicated Muslim ablution stations at a cost of $300,000.
The project includes two stations in Terminal D.
“[The] project consists of adding Ablution stations to existing concourse level restrooms in Terminal D, one Men’s ablution station in existing men’s restroom and one Women’s ablution station in the existing women’s restroom,” the document states.
Wudu, or ablution, is an Islamic ritual of purification performed before daily prayers. Wudu stations are specialized plumbing fixtures that feature low-level basins for washing the feet and seating that allows individuals to comfortably wash their hands, face, and arms.
According to the project document, the installation costs $300,000 and is privately funded. The document also shows that the accommodation was registered with Texas regulators on July 31 and is expected to be completed by Dec. 31, 2026.
After the project gained national attention, Republican U.S. Rep. Keith Self, writing on X, said it was only the beginning of a broader effort.

“Islamic foot-washing stations are coming soon to DFW. This isn’t accommodation, it’s conquest. And it’s only the beginning,” Self wrote.
“The Sharia takeover happening right before our eyes must be stopped!” he added.
Republican U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill also criticized the installation on X, suggesting an irony between airports accommodating Muslims in 2026 and the airline terrorist attacks of 9/11.
DFW Airport is not the only Texas airport to provide facilities for Islamic religious practices. Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport has also installed a Sharia-compliant Islamic prayer complex in Terminal D of its airport.
The RAIR Foundation reported back in July 2025 that the space was “fully equipped with Islamic prayer-specific amenities, including Qurans, prayer rugs, prayer beads, and a turbah (a clay tablet used in prostration),” characterizing the complex as “a dedicated Islamic worship center embedded inside a major American airport.”
Last year, Pastor Tom Ascol said he encountered a group of Muslims using the airport chapel while he was waiting for a flight. According to Ascol, an airport announcement invited travelers to a “prayer service” in the chapel. When he arrived at the chapel, he found a group of Muslims had taken over the space with their prayer rugs and Ascol was denied entry.
Ascol told Amy Mek, the founder and editor-in-chief of the RAIR Foundation, that he was physically blocked from entering an inner room of the chapel.
“They blocked my way in the inner room,” Ascol told Mek. “A man who had offered a loud prayer, not the imam, said I could come in if I took my shoes off. I refused. He would not let me walk in. I did not want to create a scene, so I left. Muslim prayer rugs lined the floors.”
Another woman, Kira Davis, posted on X about her experience at DFW Airport, and she filmed what appeared to be a compass on the ceiling of the chapel, which she said will “tell you how to get to Mecca.”
Davis said that when she entered the chapel, she said Bibles were present but stored in cabinets. By contrast, she said that there were about 100 prayer rugs available in the room.
Davis also said she remained in the chapel for two hours and that several Muslim men entered to pray during that time.
Following the reports about the DFW Airport, Republican Texas state Sen. Tan Parker announced that he is investigating the airport and the decision-making process behind the project.
“I want to be direct with the Board. I object to how this decision was made. Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is a public asset, owned by two Texas cities and governed by a board that answers to them,” Parker’s letter states. “Permanent modifications to that asset—regardless of who pays for them—ought to be made under a published standard, applied evenhandedly, through a process the public can see. On the record available to me, none of that appears to have occurred here.
“A project of obvious public interest was routed through what appears to be an administrative approval, with an undisclosed private funder, and the people of North Texas learned of it from a permit filing. That is a failure of process, and it is one this Board can correct. It appears that DFW appears to be setting precedent about who may pay to alter a public facility without first having written a rule that would govern the next request, and the one after that.
“Good governance requires the rule to come first,” Parker added.
The DFW Airport did not return the Daily Signal’s request for comment.
