The Saudi Ministry of Interior has issued a statement under the security and peace and security of Hajj, announcing strict action against those performing Hajj without a Hajj permit, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday.
The Saudi Ministry of Interior has announced that all such Iqama holders and foreign citizens who are caught illegally entering Mecca, staying in Mecca and performing Hajj during the days of Hajj will be punished with a fine of 20,000 to 100,000 riyals.
In addition, such people will be deported and banned from entering Saudi Arabia for ten years.
The Saudi Ministry of Interior has also warned local Saudi citizens to refrain from facilitating illegally, otherwise heavy fines and legal action will be taken against them.
The security and peace and security of pilgrims are very important in Hajj arrangements, so security is being made foolproof.
