This year’s limited size Hajj is starting from July 29.Generally, about 25 lakh devotees participate in Hajj every year. But this time it is known that only one thousand people are getting the opportunity to perform Hajj due to Coronavirus.
However, several media outlets have claimed that 10,000 worshipers are taking part in this year’s Hajj. Only those living in Saudi Arabia will be able to perform Hajj this time. No one from any country outside Saudi Arabia can take part in this Hajj.
Saudi Arabia’s Hajj ministry says worshipers must be quarantined before entering and after Hajj.
The Saudi government has said that the Hajj will be held on a very limited scale last month as the spread of the coronavirus continues to rise around the world. The Saudi government earns 12 billion dolar from Hajj and Umrah every year.
