Due to the economic crisis in the country, the Department of Muslim Religious and Cultural Affairs has decided not to allow Muslims to perform the Hajj this year.

The decision was taken after discussions between the National Hajj Committee, Hajj Tourist Organizations, the Department of Muslim Religious and Cultural Affairs and other relevant parties.

This year 1585 Muslims from all over the country had the opportunity to participate in the Hajj pilgrimage.
