Saudi Arabian security forces have closed access to Mecca for more than 300 thousand unregistered pilgrims.
According to Saudi media, in recent days, the security authorities of the country have expelled more than 300 thousand people from Mecca who did not have a special visa or permission to perform Hajj.
According to security authorities, during the measures taken to ensure the safety of residents and pilgrims in Mecca, it was established that 153,998 people entered Saudi Arabia on tourist visas, rather than official visas for performing Hajj, and went to Mecca to perform Hajj. During raids and checks, they were detained and expelled from the city.
It was also established that in this city, 171,578 other foreign nationals residing in Saudi Arabia were present without permission to perform Hajj this season. All of them were also detained and expelled from the city.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah of Saudi Arabia usually allocates a quota of 1,000 pilgrims for every million people in the population for all Muslim countries, so not all who wish can perform Hajj, and for this reason, they resort to such tricks to undertake the pilgrimage.
The mandatory pilgrimage — Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam. Every Muslim is obliged to perform Hajj once in their lifetime, provided that the person has both physical and financial means to undertake the pilgrimage. The obligatory Hajj is performed at a specific time.
