Hajj 2020: Saudi Arabia has issued new safety rules and regulations for Hajj this year

Due to the global Corona virus epidemic this year, the Muslim pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, the Hajj, is being conducted with very limited and strict SOPs.

This time, the pilgrims will not be able to touch the Ka'bah in Makkah, nor will they be able to kiss the Black Stone. They have to keep in mind government orders to quench their thirst for social distance and even in the scorching heat.

Although prayers are currently being offered at the Grand Mosque, no one will be able to enter Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat from July 19 to August 2 (28 Zul-Qaeda to 12 Zul-Hajj) without a Hajj permit.
