Lahore, 3rd March: Saudi Arabia requires one condition for the people who are to perform Hajj this year.

Baaghi TV: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made it mandatory for people who intend to perform the annual Hajj pilgrimage this year to get the COVID-19 vaccination.

The Kingdom’s health ministry said, “The COVID-19 vaccine is mandatory for those willing to attend Hajj and will be one of the main conditions.”

Health Minister Tawfiq al-Rabiah said compulsory vaccination would be required for all the pilgrims.

He didn’t confirm whether pilgrims from outside Saudi Arabia would be permitted to perform Hajj but said a vaccine would be mandatory for pilgrims.

It is to be remembered that last year, pilgrims from outside the Kingdom were prohibited from performing Hajj due to the coronavirus pandemic.
