Following Saudi Arabia’s declaration to permit an “exceptionally predetermined number” of individuals to perform Hajj this year because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the government on Tuesday said that the application cash of travelers will be discounted with no reasoning.
“We have respected Saudi’s choice and remembering the health and prosperity of individuals, it has been concluded that Indian Muslims won’t go for Hajj,” Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said. “Application cash of more than 2.3 lakh travelers will be returned without wiping out derivations through an immediate exchange,” he further said.

“It’s intense for ladies to get together and cause courses of action as they go in bunches without Mehram. Along these lines, we have concluded they will be permitted to go on Hajj one year from now on the off chance that they need to,” Naqvi said. An ex-individual from the board said whether the current year’s pilgrims will be qualified for one year from now is an approach matter and the Haj Survey Advisory group will make the last call.

The Saudi’s Hajj minister Muhammad Benten said it will be a “little and constrained” number of travelers to guarantee social separating and group control in the midst of the infection flare-up.
