The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has given some conditions to Saudi residents and foreigners who want to perform Hajj this year.

According to the announcement, only those who have never performed Hajj will be given priority for registration this year. However, the condition will be relaxed for those who will act as guides for Hajj pilgrims.

Another condition is that the validity of the National Card or Residency Card must be until the 10th of the month of Zilhajj.

100% accurate information must be provided during Hajj registration. If someone provides incorrect information, the registration may be canceled.

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said that those who are interested in performing Hajj must be physically fit. Those suffering from chronic and terminal diseases will not be able to perform Hajj. In addition, interested pilgrims must complete meningitis and seasonal influenza vaccinations before Hajj.

In addition, if anyone does not want to perform Hajj after the Hajj program starts, they will not get their money back. Registration must be done in accordance with this.

All pilgrims must follow the health and prevention rules, the specific time of visiting the holy places. In addition, all instructions regarding movement, gathering and accommodation must be strictly followed.

Those who will be approved for Hajj will have to print it through the Nusuk app. So that the QR code on the approval paper can be seen clearly. This paper must be kept with them throughout the Hajj. In addition, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has stipulated that this paper cannot be given to anyone other than themselves.

In addition, Saudi Arabia has also stated that pilgrims will not be able to take children with them during this Hajj.
