MAKKAH AL-MUKARRAMAH, Jun 02 (APP):The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony (MoRA) on Monday advised Pakistani pilgrims to comply fully with Saudi regulations, particularly during Mashair days in Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifa and Jamarah.
Issuing an advisory ahead of Hajj starting from 8th Zilhajj (June 4 – Wednesday), Secretary Religious Affairs Dr Syed Ata Ur Rehman emphasized the importance of following the instructions of Saudi authorities without argument. “At the holy sites, including Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifa, and Jamarah, all arrangements during the Hajj days are managed by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and its approved Makatib.”
Dr Rehman also advised pilgrims to avoid all political and communal discussions and debates.
He cautioned Pakistani pilgrims that violating Saudi laws and engaging in prohibited activities could bring a bad name for the country, and stressed that individuals would be responsible for their own actions.
