ISTANBUL, Turkey – After two years of restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, Saudi Arabia said Saturday that the number of Hajj pilgrims from within and outside the country will increase to 1 million in 2022.

According to the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, Hajj is open to people under the age of 65 who have had certified Covid-19 immunizations from the Saudi Ministry of Health.

Pilgrims from other countries would be required to present a negative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test taken within 72 hours of their departure, according to the statement, which also urged tourists to follow the health precautions.

Due to the pandemic, Saudi Arabia has confined the Hajj to local pilgrims for the previous two years. Last year, only 60,000 pilgrims conducted Hajj, compared to around 2.5 million this year.

One of Islam’s five pillars is a pilgrimage to the Kaaba in Mecca, which is Islam’s holiest location.

If a Muslim has the financial resources, he or she must perform the Hajj at least once.
