Kuwait City: According to Mohammad Nasser Al-Mutairi, Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs for Foreign Relations and Information, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced a number of instructions accompanying the implementation of the decision to lift the precautionary measures in the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's (PBUH) Mosque.


The most important instructions, according to Al-Mutairi, are to cancel prayer permits in the Grand Mosque and permits to visit the Prophet's Mosque, peace be upon him, and his two companions, may God be pleased with them. The Saudi Ministry of Religious Affairs will continue to issue permits for Umrah and visits to Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah. It is a location between the Prophet's (PBUH) house, i.e. the house of Aisha, God Bless her, and the Holy Rostrum, from which the Prophet (PBUH) used to speak.

The requirement for institutional and home quarantine for pilgrims coming from outside the Kingdom has also been removed. According to Al-Mutairi, these procedures and instructions are subject to continuous evaluation by the competent health authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia based on the developments of the epidemiological situation, and all pilgrims from the State of Kuwait are required to observe and abide by all of its provisions.
