Hajj not complete if performed without permission: Saudi scholars

The Council of Senior Scholars in Saudi Arabia has issued a firm statement, declaring that obtaining a permit is now mandatory for Muslims intending to embark on the sacred journey of Hajj.

Emphasizing the significance of compliance with Sharia law, the council asserted that securing a permit is essential not only to facilitate the pilgrimage but also to uphold the sanctity of the Holy Sites.

According to the council's interpretation, performing Hajj without a permit is deemed a grave transgression. The statement issued by the council unequivocally states that those who embark on Hajj without proper authorization are committing a sin.

Highlighting the rationale behind this mandate, the council underscored the importance of adhering to authorized numbers set by government agencies responsible for organizing the Hajj season. These numbers, the council explained, are carefully calculated to ensure the provision of essential services such as security, health, accommodation, and catering for all pilgrims.

Moreover, the council emphasized that maintaining the prescribed number of pilgrims enhances service quality and minimizes the risk of potential harm. It specifically cited the prevention of overcrowding-related incidents, such as pilgrims sleeping on roads, which could impede movement and transportation and potentially lead to casualties.

This directive from the Council of Senior Scholars reinforces the commitment of Saudi Arabia to ensure the safety and well-being of all pilgrims undertaking the spiritual journey of Hajj. As the annual pilgrimage approaches, adherence to these guidelines is paramount to safeguarding the sacred experience for all participants.
