MAKKAH - Saudi Arabia's Hajj Organizing Officers (PPIH) appealed to elderly and high risk pilgrims to ban their offerings, in order to maintain their health and safety.

"Hajj pilgrims with high risk (crysties), the elderly, disabilities, and congregants who are not healthy and experiencing fatigue are advised to reduce activities outside Mina tents," said Head of Makkah Working Area, Khalilurrahman, in Mina, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, June 17.

The mabit phase (staying) in Mina enters its second day. Indonesian Hajj pilgrims in waves carried out Ula, Wustha, and Aqabah ejections on Tasyrik Day.

According to Khalilurrahman, the temperature in Mina is also very hot, above 40 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the journey from Mina's tent to Jamarat is also quite far, about four kilometers away for one road.

"Congregants can represent/mend the implementation of throwing jumrah to other pilgrims or officers," he said.

Khalilurrahman asked the KBIHU Hajj and Umrah Guidance Group to coordinate the implementation of the Umrah throwing badal for the elderly, complicated, disabled, sick, tired and physically unwell inmates.

Mabit di Mina menjadi tahapan terbesar fase puncak haji Arafah, Muzdalifah, dan Mina (Armuzna). Sebab, jamaah tinggal lebih lama di tenda Mina.

In addition, if in Arafah and Muzdalifah the congregation relatively only lives in a tent, in Mina there is a jumrah ejection activity. Therefore, efforts to maintain health are needed. Pilgrims are advised not to force themselves in taut jumrah.
