Saudi security forces in Makkah have launched a firm campaign of enforcement against individuals attempting to infiltrate the holy sites during the Hajj pilgrimage without proper authorization. Authorities are emphasizing a policy of zero tolerance, underscoring that without a valid Hajj permit, there will be no entry—no exceptions.
As millions of pilgrims prepare for the annual pilgrimage, the Ministry of Interior has intensified efforts to ensure that only those with verified permits are allowed into designated zones around the Grand Mosque and other sacred areas. This measure aims to protect the safety, health, and spiritual sanctity of the Hajj experience.
“Security forces are on high alert and taking strict action against any unauthorized attempt to access the holy sites,” said a spokesperson for the ministry. “This is about safeguarding lives and maintaining order. No permits mean no entry—there will be no compromise.”
The campaign serves as a clear message to all: respect the regulations or face consequences. With growing concerns over crowd control and public safety, especially in light of global health considerations, the government has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a safe and secure Hajj season.
Officials continue to urge all intending pilgrims to follow legal channels and obtain the necessary permits through the official Hajj registration process.
