A recent fatwa issued by the Council of Senior Scholars mandates that performing Hajj without an official permit is prohibited. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, along with other relevant authorities, emphasized the importance of adhering to regulations to ensure the safety and organization of pilgrims. This decision aims to safeguard the well-being of pilgrims and streamline the management of Hajj and Umrah activities.
By making the permit mandatory, the Fatwa council aligns with Islamic law and emphasizes its significance in simplifying pilgrimage rituals and ensuring compliance with legal obligations. Obtaining a Hajj permit is not only a legal requirement but also a demonstration of faith and obedience. Those who comply with this requirement not only avoid legal consequences but also earn spiritual rewards.
Performing Hajj without a permit poses risks to individual safety and can disrupt the pilgrimage experience for others. The Council underscores the importance of approaching the sacred journey with reverence and respect, emphasizing the sanctity of Hajj rituals and holy sites. This decision underscores the commitment to upholding order, safety, and the integrity of the pilgrimage experience.
