Holy Umrah is being introduced on a limited scale

 The holy Umrah, which has been closed for a long time due to the epidemic coronavirus, is finally being introduced on a limited scale. However, first, those living in Saudi Arabia will be allowed to perform Umrah subject to certain conditions.

Then gradually foreigners will also get the opportunity. But that too will be limited. Saudi Arabia's influential English daily Saudi Gazette has confirmed this information quoting their sources.

Locals in Saudi Arabia must register in accordance with certain procedures. Corona negative report must be submitted at the time of registration. Once the registration process is completed, ‘Umrah Permit’ will be issued by mentioning the time and date of performing Umrah. However, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah will soon make a formal announcement about the detailed announcement and plan in this regard and the start date of Umrah.

Citizens of Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) member states (Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia) will be able to travel to Saudi Arabia from Tuesday, the Saudi government said.

In this case, a negative certificate of coronavirus test has been made mandatory within 48 hours of their travel. Holders of exit and re-entry visas, work visas, residence permits and visit visas from these countries will get this opportunity.
