Haj kits were distributed to the participants. The event also saw the release of the new edition of a book on Haj written by Khalid Saqafi, which serves as a comprehensive guide for pilgrims throughout their journey.
Madin Academy provided stay and food for the participants from distant places. A 1,001-member Madin voluntary corps with experience in Haj service helped the participants. Madin Academy started a Haj helpdesk offering ongoing support to the pilgrims. Haj scholar Ibrahim Baqavi is heading the desk.
