Hajj Ministry Stresses Importance of Adhering to Stoning Schedules

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has urged pilgrims in Mina to strictly follow the approved group movement schedules for stoning the Jamarat and to comply with the instructions issued by campaign leaders and guides, emphasizing that such adherence is essential to ensuring pilgrims’ safety and the smooth performance of rituals in an orderly and organized environment.

 In a statement, the ministry noted that today marks a peak in crowd movement, as many pilgrims head to Makkah after stoning the Jamarat to perform the Farewell Tawaf (circumambulation). This makes adherence to the scheduled movements crucial to avoid congestion, maintain crowd flow, and manage transportation in accordance with the approved operational plans.

 The ministry highlighted that these directives are part of a comprehensive plan implemented in coordination with relevant authorities to ensure a safe and well-organized Hajj experience, enabling pilgrims to perform their rituals with ease and tranquility. The plan reflects the Kingdom’s full care and attention to pilgrims.
