Saudi Ministry Boosts International Cooperation for Hajj Compliance

RIYADH, May 3, 2026 — The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah is continuing its intensive coordination with international Hajj affairs offices to promote awareness of official procedures.

The goal is to ensure that essential guidance and instructional messages reach pilgrims in their home countries well before they arrive in the Kingdom.  These international efforts aim to establish the Hajj permit as the only safe and legitimate pathway for the pilgrimage.

By adhering to these regulations, pilgrims ensure their journey is organized from its very first stages. The permit guarantees access to comprehensive field and logistical services and protects the pilgrim's rights from fraud or manipulation.

The Ministry reiterated that the slogan "No Hajj Without a Permit" is designed to achieve the highest levels of balance in human density across the Holy Sites.

International efforts have been urged to intensify awareness campaigns about the dangers posed by unauthorized groups that promote illegal Hajj services and make false promises.
