Unlawful Hajj are Unacceptable By Grand Mufti

Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh, who is also the chairman of the Council of Senior Scholars, has warned those who are planning to perform Haj using unfair means.


Criticizing fraudulent ways, he said it is absolutely wrong to hoodwink security forces by crossing Haj checkpoints in normal dresses and then donning the ihram in the holy city.

The injunction is specifically aimed at undocumented domestic pilgrims who try to sneak into the holy city every year.

He said those pilgrims this year must be those who performed Haj in the past not less than five years ago.

He explained that a large number of pilgrims arrive for Haj and the government has made arrangements in such a way that there is no stampede and all pilgrims complete their rituals without hassles.

Al-Asheikh said entering Makkah without a permit is against the rules and that it is important to abide by the regulations.

He said it was the duty of every individual to boost security by following the guidelines issued by the authorities.

He stressed that the decision to allow only documented pilgrims in Makkah was taken keeping in view people’s interests. He said violating the rules is unacceptable.

Al-Asheikh said Haj, one of the five pillars of Islam, is mandatory for every Muslim, provided he or she fulfills required conditions for performing the pilgrimage.

Airport Clearance Each Hajj Pilgrim 20 minutes

The “electronic track” system at King Abdul Aziz International Airport is helping in the completion of procedures for each pilgrim in just about 18 to 20 minutes, said an official.

“It is not taking more than 20 minutes for each pilgrim from the moment he or she steps out of the aircraft until leaving the airport premises,” said Nabil Haddad, director of Haj and Umrah Affairs at the airport.

According to the performance indicators and evaluation criteria, the application of the electronic track system has achieved a quantum leap in providing services to the pilgrims, he told local media. “The airport has so far received more than 250,000 pilgrims from outside the Kingdom.”

Haddad gave a briefing on the program to welcome the pilgrims overseen by the Ministry of Haj and Umrah. He said the program is being followed up under the directions of Minister Mohammed Salih Bentin, with the participation of the six Tawafa establishments.

“This is a kind of extension to what the mutawif used to do to celebrate the arrival of Hajis, receiving them and welcoming them,” he said.

Hani bin Abdulaziz Danish, the operator of the project to receive and group the pilgrims in the South Asian Pilgrim Establishment, said his establishment is participating in the program to welcome the Haj pilgrims through the committee he supervises.Airport Clearance Each Hajj Pilgrim 20 minutes

He said that every Monday, the committee participates in distributing gifts to the pilgrims at the Jeddah airport.

Noncritical Surgeries on Hold Till End of Hajj

Surgeries that are not urgent and critical will be put on hold until the end of haj season, according to the Health Affairs Directorate.

Jeddah Health Affairs Directorate spokesman Abdullah Al-Ghamdi said health institutions would still perform urgent and critical surgeries on all categories of patients.

“All hospitals in the Jeddah governorate will delay performing surgeries that are not urgent and can be delayed until after the Haj season is over. The directorate will redeploy all its resources to serve pilgrims without jeopardizing patients’ lives,” Al-Ghamdi said, adding that the delayed surgeries would not put patients at risk.

Saudi authorities face a stupendous challenge in ensuring the health of more than 2 million pilgrims who converge on the holy cities from within the country and abroad during the pilgrimage season...

Optometrist and eye surgery consultant Dr. Yasser Al-Mazroui said operations that could be delayed included vision correcting laser surgery, removing warts near the eye, eyelid surgeries and other cosmetic surgeries done to the eye.

“The surgeries that cannot be delayed include those for sebaceous cysts, accident cases, procedures to control bleeding and others. Such operations must be done immediately or else the patient’s life will be in danger,” Al-Mazroui said.

Women’s health consultant and obstetrician Dr. Mohammad Qattan said urgent surgeries, such as appendectomies, caesarian section for women in labor, surgeries for pregnancies outside of the womb, strokes, intestinal blockages, and others would not be put on hold.

“Other surgeries such as liposuction and similar plastic surgeries or form correction surgeries will be delayed as they do not pose any immediate danger to the patient and are not time-sensitive,” Qattan said.

Special Perfume for the kaabthaulla. Kaabah also considered the "House of Allah". The kaabthaulla is Suitated in  the center of Islam's most sacred mosque, Al-Masjid al-Haram, in Mecca, al-Hejaz, Saudi Arabia. It is the most sacred Muslim site in the world.

Muslims are must to face the Kaaba when performing salat (prayer). From any point in the world, the direction facing the Kaaba is called the qibla. The sanctuary around the Kaaba is called Al-Masjid al-Haram
The Kaaba is the holiest site in Islam, and is often called by names such as the House of God or the House of Allah.


Each numbered item in the following list corresponds to features noted in the diagram image.

  1. Al-Ħajaru al-Aswad, "the Black Stone", is located on the Kaaba's eastern corner. Its northern corner is known as the Ruknu l-ˤĪrāqī, "the Iraqi corner", its western as the Ruknu sh-Shāmī, "the Levantine corner", and its southern as Ruknu l-Yamanī, "the Yemeni corner". The four corners of the Kaaba roughly point toward the four cardinal directions of the compass.Its major (long) axis is aligned with the rising of the star Canopus toward which its southern wall is directed, while its minor axis (its east-west facades) roughly align with the sunrise of summer solstice and the sunset of winter solstice.
  2. The entrance is a door set 2.13 m (7 ft) above the ground on the north-eastern wall of the Kaaba, which acts as the façade. In 1979 the 300 kg gold doors made by chief artist Ahmad bin Ibrahim Badr, replaced the old silver doors made by his father, Ibrahim Badr in 1942.There is a wooden staircase on wheels, usually stored in the mosque between the arch-shaped gate of Banū Shaybah and the Zamzam Well.
  3. Meezab-i Rahmat, rainwater spout made of gold. Added in the rebuilding of 1627 after the previous year's rain caused three of the four walls to collapse.
  4. Gutter, added in 1627 to protect the foundation from groundwater.
  5. Hatim (also romanized as hateem), a low wall originally part of the Kaaba. It is a semi-circular wall opposite, but not connected to, the north-west wall of the Kaaba known as the hatīm. This is 90 cm (35 in) in height and 1.5 m (4.9 ft) in width, and is composed of white marble. At one time the space lying between the hatīm and the Kaaba belonged to the Kaaba itself, and for this reason it is not entered during the tawaf. According to western scholars the space contains the remains of Hagar and Ishmael as it is called hidjr Ismail
  6. Al-Multazam, the roughly 2 meter space along the wall between the Black Stone and the entry door. It is sometimes considered pious or desirable for a hajji to touch this area of the Kaaba, or perform dua here.
  7. The Station of Abraham (Maqam Ibrahim), a glass and metal enclosure with what is said to be an imprint of Abraham's feet. Abraham is said to have stood on this stone during the construction of the upper parts of the Kaaba, raising Ismail on his shoulders for the uppermost parts.
  8. Corner of the Black Stone (East).
  9. Corner of Yemen (South-West). Pilgrims traditionally acknowledge a large vertical stone that forms this corner.
  10. Corner of Syria (North-West).
  11. Corner of Iraq (North-East). This inside corner, behind a curtain, contains the Babut Taubah, Door of Repentance, which leads to a staircase to the roof.
  12. Kiswah, the embroidered covering. Kiswa is a black silk and gold curtain which is replaced annually during the Hajj pilgrimage. Two-thirds of the way up is a band of gold-embroidered Quranic text, including the Shahada, the Islamic declaration of faith.
  13. Marble stripe marking the beginning and end of each circumambulation.
  14. The station of Gabriel.
