Hajj 2021 With Strict Precautionary Measures Planned
SRINAGAR: Unlike 2020, Saudi Arabia is planning to allow Hajj 2021 under strict health conditions, reports emanating from the land of
Kaaba said. The announcement was already made that the pilgrimage will take place despite the pandemic. Hajj 2021 will begin on July 17.

The decision, a statement issued by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and
Umrah said, is based on the “country’s keenness to enable the guests and visitors of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque to perform the rituals of Hajj and
Umrah.”
Plans envisage allowing Saudis who are vaccinated or have recovered from Covid-19 at least six months before the Hajj rituals. There is a rare possibility of foreigners being permitted for the biggest yearly pilgrimage. Only a 1000-odd faithful were permitted for symbolic Hajj in 2020.
