Peak Of Hajj Season, Saudi Arabian Authorities Urge Congregants To Pay Attention To Food Problems

JAKARTA - Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has issued public health warnings for pilgrims regarding food problems, including an appeal not to eat open food.

This warning suggestion emerged as part of a broader guideline designed to help protect the health of pilgrims during a series of Hajj services.

Soroti kebutuhan yang tidak perlu bagi para jamaah untuk membawa makanan dari negara asal, Kementerian meyakinkan kawasan sekitar Masjidil Haram Makkah penuh dengan berbagai restoran.

"These restaurants serve various tastes of the international Muslim community, ensuring that all visitors will find the food they love," the ministry said, quoted by Gulf News June 20.

In addition, the Ministry also emphasized the importance of examining canned food labels to find out information about their content and expiration date.

Furthermore, the ministry also asks the congregation to ensure regularity in their main food, so that they can carry out worship comfortably and smoothly.

"This will give them the energy needed to perform rituals and help avoid fatigue," the ministry said.

In addition, the ministry also recommends that pilgrims avoid foods they are not used to eating before traveling, stressing the need to drink enough water to stay hydrated and avoid dehydration.

Urging compliance with personal hygiene, the ministry also advises pilgrims to wash their hands before and after eating.
