The Battle of Mulayda was the last major battle during the period of the Second Saudi State which occurred on 21 January 1891 over issues regarding zakat and the arrest of the Rashidi leader. The Rashidis plotted to end the Saudi state and conquer both the Qassim region and Riyadh. Following the invasion, the Rashidis and their Arab ally clans successfully conquered the Second Saudi State, forcing the House of Saud, led by Abdul Rahman bin Faisal, and their allies to flee.
