The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has introduced new guidelines for people planning to perform Umrah during the summer months. These guidelines aim to ensure a safe and smooth experience for pilgrims and help them follow the rules.
Pilgrims are now required to obtain an Umrah permit before they go to the Masjid al-Haram. This permit can be easily obtained through apps like Nask and Tokalna. Getting the permit in advance is important to avoid any issues and to follow the rules of Umrah.
The Ministry has also given three important guidelines for those performing Umrah in the summer:
- Consult a Doctor: Before starting the Umrah journey, it’s recommended to see a doctor. This is especially important in the summer when the weather is hot. A doctor can make sure you are healthy enough for the journey and provide any necessary advice.
- Choose the Right Time: It’s a good idea to pick the right time to perform Umrah during the summer. Try to go when the weather is not too hot. This can make the journey more comfortable and safe.
- Rest Before Umrah: After reaching the Masjid al-Haram, take some rest before you begin your Umrah. Resting will help you feel better after the journey and prepare you for the spiritual experience.
By following these new guidelines, summer Umrah pilgrims can have a better and safer journey. The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah wants to make sure that all pilgrims have a positive experience and stay healthy during their spiritual journey.
