Riyadh: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj has disallowed Hajj for pilgrims outside the kingdom this year.

According to the Saudi news agency, only Saudi citizens and people living in the country will be able to perform Hajj this year, and thus citizens of other countries wishing to perform Hajj will not be able to come for Hajj.

The decision was made by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj in view of the Corona virus situation.

The Saudi Ministry has announced that only 60,000 people will be allowed to perform the Hajj this year, and that all of them will be Saudi nationals and foreigners living in the country.
