The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced that Saudi Arabia has imposed a ban on children accompanying pilgrims during the Hajj 2025 season.
The ministry stated that the purpose of this decision is to protect children from the risks associated with the massive crowds that occur every year. The ministry explained that this step has been taken to ensure the safety and well-being of children and to prevent any harm to them during the pilgrimage, ARY News Reported.
The ministry also mentioned that, as always, priority for participating in Hajj this year will be given to those who have not performed Hajj before.
Registration for the Hajj 2025 season has officially opened for Saudi citizens and residents through the Nusuk app and the official online portal.
Pilgrims are required to verify their information, add companions, and submit any requests for exemptions.
The ministry emphasized the importance of being prepared before the sale of Hajj packages begins, which has already started through the Nusuk platform.
Pilgrims are advised to organize their preferred packages, ensure their e-wallets are topped up, and finalize their choices promptly.
