The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has banned children from accompanying pilgrims during Hajj 2025 season, Gulf News reported.
The ministry indicated that the ban aims basically to protect children from every year’s crowding during Hajj seasons.
“This measure is taken to ensure the safety and well-being of children and to avoid exposing them to any harm during the pilgrimage,” the ministry added.
In the same context, the ministry announced that priority for 2025 Hajj participation will be as always for those who have not performed the Hajj before.
Recently, registration for 2025 Hajj has officially started for Saudi citizens and residents through the Nusuk app and the official online portal.
The ministry has required pilgrims to verify their information, insert companions, and submit any requests for exemptions.
Crucially, Hajj authorities advised pilgrims to stay tuned and prepare themselves for the Hajj package sales, that have already kicked off via the Nusuk platform. Therefore, pilgrims should arrange their preferred packages, top up their e-wallets, and finalize their selections.
