Saudi Arabia has declared to fine pilgrims who will be found violators of hajj permit, according to an official source at the Ministry of Interior of Saudi Arabia.

The source said during this year’s Hajj, Saudi Arabia will fine anyone SR10,000 who will be found entering the holy sites of Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat without a permit starting from July 28 until the end of the 12th day of Zil Hajj.

If the offense is repeated, the penalty will be doubled, the source added.

The official said the move is part of regulations and protocols to stem the spread of coronavirus during the Hajj season this year.

The source called on all citizens and residents to abide by the instructions for the pilgrimage season this year, stressing at the same time that security will be present on all roads and paths leading to the holy sites to prevent violations and control any attempt to enter them during the specified period and the enforcement of sanctions against all violators. _Agencies
