Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has announced that permits for performing Umrah during the last ten days of Ramazan are now available.
The Nusuk app and the Tawakkalna app both allow users to make reservations in this respect, the ministry announced on its official Twitter account.
It is important to note that pilgrims are required to conduct Umrah at the times and on the dates listed in the Nusuk app permit.
To ensure that every pilgrim could easily and comfortably carry out their religious rites, the authorities had previously made it clear that pilgrims would be permitted to conduct Umrah only once during the holy month of Ramazan.
The government of Saudi Arabia is gearing up to finalize the arrangements for the Umrah season and has also reserved special spots for all those intending to perform Itikaf.
After the Umrah season is over, the authorities would start preparation for the biggest annual event of Hajj wherein the kingdom would welcome over 2.3 million pilgrims and would utilize the Apps like Nusuk and other digital portals to facilitate the pilgrims during their month long stay in the kingdom.
Pakistan’s quota for Hajj 2023 is 179,210 pilgrims. This is the first time that the government of Saudi Arabia has restored the number of pilgrims to pre-Covid levels.
It is to be highlighted that 50 percent quota has been reserved for Sponsorship scheme which is a special facility given to Hajj pilgrims seeking foreign exchange from abroad in the specific dollar account of the religious affairs ministry.
