Ministry of Hajj and Umrah warns against attempting to perform Hajj without a permit
وزارة الحج والعمرة تحذر من محاولة الحج بلا تصريح
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah affirmed the requirement for those wishing to perform the Hajj pilgrimage this year 1446 AH to obtain a Hajj permit through the Nusuk platform, integrated technically with the unified digital platform for issuing Hajj permits “Tasreeh Platform,” and to comply with regulations and instructions to ensure the safety of the Guests of Allah and enable them to perform Hajj with ease and reassurance. The Ministry stressed that all types of visas do not entitle their holders to perform Hajj except for those arriving with a Hajj visa, noting that attempting to perform Hajj without a permit constitutes a violation of Hajj regulations and instructions. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah warned against fraud and scam operations promoted through advertisements for fake and misleading Hajj campaigns on social media platforms, offering accommodation and transportation for pilgrims within the holy sites, and urged reporting such violations by calling (911) in the Makkah, Riyadh, and Eastern regions, and (999) in the rest of the Kingdom, or by reporting to the authorities in all countries regarding any fake and misleading advertisements. The Ministry noted that the last date for Umrah visa holders to depart is Tuesday, the first of Dhu al-Qi’dah 1446 AH, corresponding to (29 April 2025), in preparation for the Hajj season. // End //
