The project was officially registered with Texas regulators on July 31, according to documents detailing the project.

The installation of the Wudu ablution stations is expected to be complete by the end of the year.

"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 project details read.

It is privately funded and expected to cost around $300,000, the documents state.

The updates aim to prevent water on standard restroom floors and protect sink counters.

"People are freaking out over foot-washing stations at DFW, but let's look at the actual facts before jumping to conclusions. This isn't about pushing an ideology - it's basic airport management," conservative activist Ryan Fournier wrote on social media.

"Safety & Plumbing: People washing their feet in standard bathroom sinks creates soaked, slippery floors and breaks the counters. Low-level wudu basins keep the restrooms dry and safe for everyone," he continued.

Fournier said the addition is "just about keeping the bathrooms clean and preventing people from slipping on wet tiles. Plain and simple."

Fox News Digital reached out to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, Gov. Greg Abbott's office and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport for comment.
