With the Hajj season just around the corner, the general picture of this season remains blurry for campaigns organizers and for citizens wishing to perform hajj this season.
A local Arabic daily has learned that the meeting of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Engineer Farid Emadi, with the Union of Hajj Caravans last Thursday did not produce any results.
A well-informed source, meanwhile, told the daily the Awqaf Ministry has warned that the Hajj campaigns organizers on the need to abide by the circular which was issued earlier and not to start registering the names of pilgrims for the current season, until the quota for nationalities is issued and then set the price list, which the ministry wants to start from 1500 dinars onwards to enable people with limited income to perform the rituals.
According to the source, the meeting of Emadi with the Federation of Hajj Caravans resulted in a commitment not to begin registration of pilgrims until the cost modalities at the camps in the holy sites are worked out.
