During Hajj, the pilgrims would have to go through some barriers including a ban on touching the Holy Kaaba or the Blackstone.
The Kingdom of Saudia created some rules to avoid the widespread pandemic for 2021’s Hajj. It further restricted the pilgrims to meet and gather along with each other, as per their state news.
Touching the holiest site, i.e. the Kabah, won’t be allowed this year during the Hajj. Besides, the space of a meter and a half would be followed to stay socially distant during the rituals and the whole time. These rituals maintain congregational prayers and circling the Kabah area.
Moreover, permissions to the Holy areas at Arafat, Muzdalifah, and Mina would be restricted to the ones maintaining the Hajj permission to take place from the 19th of July till the 2nd of August. Wearing masks are considered mandatory for the workers and the pilgrims.
Hajj is an obligation to be followed by every healthy Muslim. Each year, around 2.5 million Muslims visit the Holiest areas located within Makkah and Madina.
