JAKARTA - The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said Indonesian pilgrims who took the nafar tsani began to move to Mecca as the mabit phase in Mina ended on the third Tasyrik day, Saturday, coinciding with 13 Dzulhijjah 1447 Hijriah.
Ministry of Religion spokesman Ichsan Marsha said the peak series of the hajj or Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina (Armuzna) has so far been running smoothly, orderly, and under control.
"Alhamdulillah, after the congregation carried out wukuf in Arafah, stayed in Muzdalifah, stayed in Mina, and carried out the throwing of jumrah on the days of Tasyrik, now some Indonesian Hajj pilgrims who took nafar tsani continue to perfect the series of worship by carrying out the throwing of jumrah on the third Tasyrik day," said Ichsan in Mina.
Ichsan expressed his appreciation to all Indonesian pilgrims who had followed the instructions of the officers, maintained order, and carried out movements towards Jamarat according to the schedule that had been set.
According to him, the discipline of the congregation is an important factor in maintaining the smoothness, safety, and comfort during the Mina phase.
On the third Tasyrik day, Indonesian pilgrims who took the tsani nafar carried out the throwing of three jumrah, namely Ula, Wustha, and Aqabah.
The Ministry of Religion appealed to the congregation to really pay attention to the schedule of the launch that had been set for each cluster and not carry it out outside the time that had been arranged.
"We appeal to all Indonesian pilgrims who take nafar tsani to immediately complete the series of lontar jumrah according to schedule, then return to their respective tents in Mina to prepare for the movement process to Mecca," said Ichsan.
He emphasized that the appeal was important to ensure that the process of returning pilgrims from Mina to Mecca took place in an orderly, safe, and coordinated manner, as well as avoiding congestion on the mobilization route.
Pilgrims are also asked to continue to follow the instructions of officers, maintain order, ensure that luggage is not left behind, and prepare themselves according to the departure schedule for the smooth running of services and comfort together.
Ichsan explained that the Ministry of Religion had placed Mina Task Force officers at a number of monitoring points and movement routes for pilgrims. In total, 1,356 Mina Task Force Officers were on alert to support services, supervision, traffic management, and rapid response to the needs of pilgrims in the field.
The Mina Task Force monitoring post is located at a number of strategic points, including Jalan 616, Jalan 533, in front of Mina Al-Wadi Hospital, Jalan 627, under Jalan Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, the gate of the Muaisim Turkish tunnel, in front of Syarikah, and a number of posts directing the movement of pilgrims to Jamarat and monitoring posts for the return of pilgrims after carrying out the lontar jumrah.
"These posts are tasked with directing Indonesian pilgrims to Jamarat, helping to manage the flow during the implementation of the lontar jumrah, anticipating congestion, and ensuring that pilgrims returning from Jamarat remain on a safe path and do not take shortcuts that are risky," said Ichsan.
Starting Saturday morning Saudi time, pilgrims who carried out the nafar tsani were sent from Mina to Mecca to return to their respective hotels.
The Ministry of Transportation reminded that traffic to hotels is expected to be still heavy and there is a possibility of diversion of transportation routes.
"We appeal to the congregation to remain patient and calm during the journey to the hotel. We are trying to get the congregation to be dropped off in front of the hotel. However, if it is not possible due to road closures, the bus will drop off the congregation at the location closest to the hotel. We ask for understanding and support from the congregation," said Ichsan.
The Ministry of Religion also reminded pilgrims to continue to maintain their health. The weather conditions in Mina during the day are still quite hot. Therefore, pilgrims are asked to drink more water, eat regularly, use umbrellas or headgear when outside the tent, and limit unnecessary physical activity.
For elderly worshipers, disabled worshipers, female worshipers, and worshipers with high health risks, the Ministry of Religion asked families, group leaders, team leaders, and fellow worshipers to pay more attention.
"We once again invite all Indonesian pilgrims to maintain cohesiveness, help each other, remind each other, and take care of each other. The spirit of mutual cooperation and brotherhood is an important part of realizing a safe, orderly, comfortable, and blessed Hajj," said Ichsan.
