He has been accused by the conservative business newspaper Investors Business Daily of anti-semitism.

    On the controversy over whether women may be allowed to reveal their faces in public, i.e. need not wear a Niqāb, (Sheikh Ahmad Al-Ghamdi, had created an "uproar" in 2014 by saying it was allowed), Al-Maghamsi said it is "always better to be modest though he admitted that not all scholars agree that women should not reveal their faces".

    Al-Maghamsi has also come out in favor of "taking care of historical mosques", stating that such a practice is not unorthodox but religious and an act of worship.
