"So far, the Ministry of Religion has provided understanding to the congregation about the provisions of luggage. There is a maximum limit for the weight of the suitcase which is only 32kg. There are also a number of items that are prohibited from being brought," explained Subhan.

"Because this is the airline's provision, I ask the airline to conduct massive socialization," he continued.

Hajj pilgrims departing in the first wave landed at Madinah's Amir Muhammad bin Abdul Aziz (AMAA) Airport. They will return from King Abdul Aziz Airport in Jeddah. A total of 263 groups will return via Jeddah.

"The second batch of pilgrims who landed in Jeddah, including 13 additional quota groups that landed in Medina, will return via AMAA Airport in Medina," he explained.

"The initial nafar was a congregation who took the option to leave Mina on 12 Zulhijah before sunset. For the congregation who will stay until 13 Zulhijah, Nafar Tsani is called," he said.
