No transaction for Umrah before govt announcement
The religious affairs ministry yesterday warned people, who want to go for Umrah hajj, not to do any transaction with anyone before official announcement from the ministry in this regard.
A notification will be issued by the Ministry of Religious Affairs subject to permission from the Saudi government to perform Umrah. Before that, people are requested not to make any transaction in this regard, the ministry said in an urgent circular.
"This is to inform all that no official letter from the royal Saudi government on resuming of Umrah hajj has been received so far. Nevertheless, some individuals and some agencies are advertising on Umrah on Facebook and social media mentioning certain date," added the circular.
"This is tantamount to deceive the devout Muslim people."
The circular also said legal actions are already being taken as per the rules for such activities.
