On Saturday, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced that there is no age requirement for Umrah pilgrims to enter the Two Holy Mosques.
According to the ministry, in order to be granted permission to enter the Two Holy Mosques via “Eatmarna” application, worshippers must complete the “Tawakkalna” application with their health status as “Immune.”
The grand mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s mosque in Madinah still require people to wear masks and to maintain physical distance.
The authorities called on all visitors and the workers at the Two Holy Mosques to comply with the precautionary measures, by wearing masks and maintaining physical distance.
This is in addition to adhering to the timing for the entry on the basis of the stipulated time mentioned in the Umrah and prayer permits issued by Eatmarna and Tawakkalna applications, and complying with the instructions issued by the authorities at the Two Holy Mosques.
