How these 42 blind pilgrims performed Hajj this year?

This year, 42 blind men and women successfully completed the Hajj thanks to the National Association of the Blind (Kafeef) in Riyadh’s support.

These pilgrims with visual impairments have completed the entire Hajj ceremonies, including the stoning of the Jamarat and the Tawaf Al Widaa (Farewell Circumambulation), with the assistance of their assistants.

The assistance given to these pilgrims was a part of Kafeef’s Manasik initiative, which strives to increase the accessibility and comfort of the holy journey for the blind by offering an integrated system of services.

The Hajj was successfully organised this year thanks to the efforts of Saudi Arabia’s leadership and authorities, according to Abdul Aziz Al Mubarak, Director of Administrative and Financial Affairs at Kafeef.

He emphasised the need of allowing people with vision impairments to partake in such profound spiritual experiences.

In order to provide more targeted and individualised help during the journey, he pointed out that the 42 beneficiaries and their companions were divided into three groups.
