MUSCAT: The Oman Hajj Mission has issued an important reminder for all citizens and residents who are planning to perform Hajj this year. The reminder emphasizes the crucial requirement of obtaining a valid permit before undertaking the pilgrimage. This measure ensures that the pilgrimage process is well-organized, secure, and adheres to the established regulations set by the authorities in both Oman and Saudi Arabia.
The Hajj pilgrimage is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many Muslims, and the Oman Hajj Mission aims to streamline the process, making it easier for pilgrims to complete the necessary formalities. By reminding citizens and residents of the permit requirement, the mission is helping ensure that all participants follow the guidelines, avoiding unnecessary delays or complications during their journey.
The permit system is part of broader efforts by the government to regulate the number of pilgrims traveling each year, ensuring smooth logistics and providing essential services, including transportation and accommodation. The Oman Hajj Mission has highlighted that obtaining a permit through the official channels is the only legitimate way to secure a place for this sacred journey.
In addition to the permit requirement, the Oman Hajj Mission has also provided guidelines on health and safety measures that all pilgrims must adhere to during their time in Saudi Arabia. These guidelines are essential to ensure the safety and well-being of all pilgrims, especially given the challenges posed by the ongoing global health situation.
