According to the media, Saudi Arabia has announced major changes for the 2025 Hajj pilgrimage, including a ban on minors traveling with pilgrims.
According to the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, the decision was made to improve safety in the face of the significant crowding that is a feature of the yearly event.
To guarantee that as many Muslims as possible have the chance to make the holy journey at least once in their lifetime, first-time pilgrims would be given priority in addition to the child ban.
Residents and citizens of Saudi Arabia can now register for the Hajj season through the official website and the Nusuk app.
