Hajj This Year Will Allow Pilgrims From Outside The Kingdom

Avatar

Hajj is coming up and there is a lot of buzz about what this year’s pilgrimage will look like.

It has been stated that this year’s Hajj will allow pilgrims from both inside and outside the Kingdom but it is unclear just how many and under what criteria

In a recent interview, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said that Saudi Arabia is considering “all options” for Muslim pilgrims to attend this year’s Hajj, including the possibility of allowing a limited number of pilgrims from abroad

Earlier this week, the kingdom said it intends to organise this year’s Hajj according to health, security and organisation controls to protect pilgrims’ health amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

Last year, only a very handful of people who live in Saudi Arabia were allowed to perform Hajj in a historic decision to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
