Saudi Arabia To Gradually Resume Umrah Pilgrimage From October



(CNA) – Saudi Arabia will gradually resume the year-round umrah pilgrimage for Muslims from Oct 4, the interior ministry said on Tuesday (Sep 23), seven months after it was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The kingdom had suspended the umrah in March and later scaled back the annual Haj in a blow to millions of pilgrims around the world amid fears that the coronavirus could spread to Islam’s holiest sites.
In the first stage, “6,000 citizens and residents within the kingdom will be allowed to perform the umrah per day from Oct 4”, the ministry said in a statement published by the official Saudi Press Agency.
Visitors from outside the kingdom will be permitted from Nov 1, when the umrah’s capacity will be raised to 20,000 pilgrims per day, the ministry added.
The umrah, which refers to the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca that can be undertaken at any time of year, usually attracts millions of Muslims from across the globe each year.
The ministry said the umrah would be allowed to resume at full “natural capacity” once the threat of the pandemic is eliminated.
The decision to resume the umrah was in response to the “aspirations of Muslims home and abroad” to perform the ritual and visit the holy sites, the ministry added.
The decision comes after the kingdom organised the smallest Haj in modern history in late July, with only up to 10,000 Muslims allowed to take part in total – a far cry from the 2.5 million who participated last year.
Health authorities said no coronavirus cases were reported at the holy sites during the Haj, one of the five pillars of Islam and a must for able-bodied Muslims at least once in their lifetime.
Hajj pilgrims circled the sacred Kaaba – a cubic structure inside Mecca’s Grand Mosque towards which Muslims around the world pray – along socially distant paths.
The pilgrims were also subjected to regular temperature checks and required to go into mandatory quarantine after the ritual.
“DOUBLE EFFORTS”
King Salman, the kingdom’s 84-year-old ruler, said holding the Haj in the shadow of the pandemic required “double efforts” by Saudi authorities.
The Haj and umrah pilgrimages are a massive logistical challenge, with colossal crowds cramming into relatively small holy sites, making them vulnerable to contagion.
The kingdom has sought to contain a spike in infections, which have now risen to more than 330,000 cases – the highest in the Gulf – and over 4,500 deaths.
But Saudi Arabia has also reported a high rate of recoveries, which surpassed 312,000 on Tuesday.
Last week, Saudi Arabia partially lifted its suspension on international flights, six months after travel curbs were imposed due to the pandemic.
Saudi Arabia’s custodianship of Mecca and Medina – Islam’s two holiest sites – is seen as the kingdom’s most powerful source of political legitimacy.
But a series of deadly disasters over the years, including a 2015 stampede that killed up to 2,300 worshippers, has prompted criticism of the Sunni kingdom’s management of the Haj.
The holy sites are also a key revenue earner for Saudi Arabia.
The pilgrimages typically cost thousands of dollars for worshippers, who often save for years as well as endure long waiting lists for a chance to attend.
De facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision 2030 reform plan seeks to decouple the economy of the kingdom – the world’s top crude exporter – from oil dependency towards other sources of revenue, including religious tourism.
The government hopes to welcome 30 million pilgrims to the kingdom annually by 2030.
