The Pakistan Hajj Mission has issued new and important guidelines for pilgrims staying in Al-Aziziyah, Makkah. These instructions aim to improve crowd management and ensure smooth movement during prayer times.
According to officials, all Hajj pilgrims must reach Masjid al-Haram at least 30 minutes before the Azan. This rule is introduced to help pilgrims find space for congregational prayers without delay.
The Mission has also announced changes in shuttle service operations. The dedicated bus service will be suspended 30 minutes before each Azan. This step is taken to manage traffic flow and reduce overcrowding.
Pilgrims performing Hajj are advised to leave their residential buildings early. Officials suggest departing around one hour before the Azan. This will help ensure timely arrival at the Haram.
Authorities say this system is designed to avoid last-minute rush. It will also allow pilgrims to reach prayer areas calmly and safely. The Hajj journey requires careful planning due to large crowds and limited transport space.
After prayers, pilgrims are also requested not to rush back immediately. Instead, they should stay inside the Haram for a short time. They are advised to return to bus points about 30 minutes after prayer ends.
This measure aims to reduce crowd pressure at shuttle stops. It is especially important for elderly pilgrims and those with health conditions. The goal is to make the Hajj experience safer and more comfortable for everyone.
The Pakistan Hajj Mission has also shared a detailed timetable for departures from residential buildings. These timings are fixed to ensure organized movement.
The schedule includes 03:30 AM for Fajr, 11:18 AM for Dhuhr, 02:40 PM for Asr, 05:45 PM for Maghrib, and 07:15 PM for Isha. Pilgrims are strongly advised to follow these timings during their Hajj stay.
Officials have requested full cooperation from all pilgrims. They say following these guidelines will help avoid confusion and delays.
The Mission emphasized that discipline is essential during Hajj, as millions of worshippers gather in a limited space. Proper timing and patience will ensure a smooth spiritual journey.
