The Grand Mosque in Makkah is ready to receive pilgrims and worshippers at full capacity, just as the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has lifted the restrictions placed upon the performance of Umrah and Prayers in the Rawdah Al Shareefah.
The development indicates that performing one Umrah every 15 days has been removed while Praying in Rawdah Al Shareefah every 30 days has also been removed.
Lesser Hajj Pilgrims can now obtain permits immediately after the expiration of their previous permits without a waiting period.
