Indro further said that Indonesian pilgrims who died in the Holy Land received treatment according to procedures. When a pilgrimage dies, health workers will make a Certificate of Death (COD).
After that, the officer will coordinate with the Maktab Office or the Daker Sector / Office to complete other administrative requirements, such as a letter of willingness to be buried.
"After the administration is prepared, it is usually submitted to Masyariq or Maktab for the restoration process," said Indro again.
The Armuzna period began on 8 Zulhijjah following the departure of Indonesian pilgrims from the hotel in Makkah to Arafah to undergo wusuf. From Arafah, the congregation moved to Muzdalifah for mabit (staying), followed by Mina.
The congregation stayed at Mina for at least three days from 10 Zulhijjah. The peak phase of the hajj ended on 14 Zulhijjah, marked by the return of the congregation who took Nafar Tsani from Mina to a hotel in Makkah
Given the hot weather in Saudi, while waiting for the return schedule, Indro advised the congregation to limit their activities outside the hotel. Moreover, pilgrims with high risk health conditions (risti) and the elderly (elderly).
According to Indro, the assumption that spending time in the Holy Land to increase activities without caring about health conditions is wrong. In fact, it can be dangerous.
