An official source in the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia warned those wishing to perform Hajj rituals against “falling victim to the fake Hajj campaigns this year, which advertise their services through social media sites in a number of countries,” explaining that “coming to perform Hajj can only be done through… Obtaining a Hajj visa issued by the relevant authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in coordination with countries through their Hajj affairs offices, or through the “Hajj Hajj” platform for countries that do not have official Hajj offices.”

The same source stated that “the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah monitored advertisements for companies and campaigns, in addition to fake accounts on social networks, claiming to organize Hajj at attractive prices,” calling for “beware of dealing with such campaigns and companies.”

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah explained earlier that “Umrah, tourism, work, family visit, transit (transit) visas, and other types of visas do not qualify their holders to perform the Hajj,” calling on everyone to “adhere to the regulations and laws imposed by the official authorities organizing the Hajj, and not to… Drifting behind fictitious companies and offices that claim to have commercial Hajj campaigns and other names.”

It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah “continuously follows up on companies’ advertisements and fake campaigns, and hopes for everyone’s cooperation in combating and reporting them, and working to reduce the phenomenon of Hajj without a permit, and calls on everyone to obtain official information by visiting the Ministry’s website and through its channels in various social networks.” “.
