Hajj will be held this year, but a very limited number of pilgrims will be allowed to come

Saudi Arabia is considering allowing a limited number of people to perform the Hajj this year. The international news agency Reuters has claimed that a small number of pilgrims are likely to be allowed to perform the Hajj this year due to the threat of the Corona epidemic. Normally, about 2.5 million people perform Hajj every year, but this time the number of pilgrims will be very limited due to Corona.

It is also being said that this time the elderly will not be allowed to perform Hajj, as they are more at risk of spreading corona. In this sense, very few people will be able to participate in the Hajj this time. All pilgrims will have to undergo corona test and other medical tests before participating in Hajj.

If a pilgrim shows suspicious symptoms of corona, he will be barred from performing Hajj.

Sources also said that the Hajj authorities have decided that only 20% of the pilgrims from each country will be allowed to come for Hajj. According to sources in the Ministry of Religious Affairs, a decision on Hajj is expected by June 15 this year. ۔ Sources in the Ministry of Religious Affairs say that the Saudi government is considering various proposals regarding Hajj. Saudi Arabia will consult with Muslim countries before issuing a final policy.

According to the proposals, the Hajj quota is likely to be reduced by 80%, which will affect the largest countries. It is also under consideration that only delegations from all countries should be invited for Hajj. However, a proposal to allow only those living in Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj is also under consideration. High precautions can be taken to prevent the spread of the virus. The Saudi government is trying to decide regarding the Hajj that will not cause any harm.
