Saudi Arabia stops 269,678 Muslims without Hajj permits from entering Makkah
MECCA, Saudi Arabia, June 2, (AP): Saudi Arabia stopped more than 269,000 people without permits for the annual Hajj pilgrimage from entering Makkah, officials said Sunday, as authorities crack down on illegal journeys into the city. The government blames overcrowding at the Hajj on unauthorized participants. It also says they made up large numbers of those who died in last year's searing summer heat. The number of expulsions highlights the scale of unauthorized pilgrimages - as well as the demand to perform the Hajj. There are currently 1.4 million Muslims in Makkah officially, with more expected to arrive in the days to come. There are fines of up to $5,000 and other punitive measures, like deportation, for anyone performing the Hajj without a permit. The policy includes citizens and those with Saudi residency. At a press conference in Makkah, officials said they had stopped 269,678 people without permits from entering the city. According to the rules, only those with permits are allowed to perform the pilgrimage, even if they live in the city year-round. Officials have also imposed penalties on more than 23,000 Saudi residents for violating Hajj regulations and revoked the licenses of 400 Hajj companies. Lt. Gen. Mohammed Al-Omari told the media: "The pilgrim is in our sight, and anyone who disobeys is in our hands.' The Hajj is the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah and involves a series of religious rituals. It's a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for every Muslim who can afford it and is physically able to do it. But it has been marred in recent years by concerns about extreme temperatures, with pilgrims performing their rituals outdoors in peak daylight hours. Historically, deaths are not uncommon at the Hajj, which has seen at times over 2 million people travel to Saudi Arabia for a five-day pilgrimage. It has also seen fatal stampedes and other accidents.

JEDDAH, June 1: The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah on Saturday urged pilgrims to remain in their camps on the Day of Arafat between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., advising them to avoid visiting Jabal al-Rahmah and Namirah Mosque to protect themselves from the intense sun and high temperatures. In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the ministry emphasized the importance of adhering strictly to the approved grouping schedules set by the relevant authorities and warned against violating these schedules during all phases of movement between the holy sites. The ministry also called on pilgrims to use only authorized transportation methods within the designated routes at the holy sites and discouraged walking between locations during the specified time frame. Highlighting its intensified efforts this Hajj season, the ministry assured that its services are fully prepared to help pilgrims perform their rituals comfortably and safely, despite the challenging high temperatures at the holy sites. Pilgrims were also reminded to keep their "Nusuk" cards on hand and present them when requested. The ministry stressed that carrying the card at all times during their stay in the holy sites is mandatory, as it serves as a crucial identification document that facilitates locating pilgrims and providing assistance if needed. The ministry urged all pilgrims to follow these instructions closely to ensure the safety and well-being of all guests of God.
