MAKKAH: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has advised Umrah pilgrims not to sleep at the Grand Mosque in Makkah, Islam’s holiest site.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has told Umrah pilgrims and visitors to the site to avoid reclining and sleeping at the mosque, home to the Holy Kaaba.
The ministry noted that the practice infringes regulations at the sacred site.
“The Guest of Allah, we hope you’ll shun reclining or lying, particularly in the corridors, prayer places, the tracks of emergency carts or those designated for the physically disabled,” the minister said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The ministry highlighted the importance of observing regulated lines and cooperating with security guards to ensure a smooth and organized experience for all.
Every year, millions of Muslims from around the world visit the Grand Mosque to perform Umrah and offer prayers.
