Hajj Ministry Issues Essential Safety Guidelines For Pilgrims Ahead Of Season 1446 AH

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has issued safety guidelines for the Hajj season 1446 AH, focusing on the well-being of pilgrims amid high temperatures. Pilgrims are advised to stay in their tents on Arafah Day from 10 AM to 4 PM to avoid extreme heat. The ministry also advises against visiting Jabal Al-Rahmah or Namirah Mosque during these hours.

Adhering to the schedules set by authorities is crucial for pilgrims. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah stresses using approved transport methods as per the official plan. Walking between holy sites during designated times is discouraged to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

Pilgrims must carry the "Nusuk" card at all times within the holy sites. This card is essential for identification and access, providing necessary assistance when needed. Losing this card can hinder a pilgrim's ability to perform rituals smoothly.

The ministry has communicated with service provider companies, emphasizing their role in ensuring pilgrims follow guidelines. By doing so, they help maintain safety and allow pilgrims to perform their rituals peacefully.

Following these guidelines is vital for the safety of all involved. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah urges strict adherence to ensure a smooth pilgrimage experience for everyone participating in this spiritual journey.
