Saudi Arabia has recently announced that the minimum age for performing this year’s Hajj pilgrimage is 12 years old. The minimum age is established to compensate for the unlimited numbers of pilgrims from around the world for the upcoming Hajj season, reversing earlier restrictions prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the past two years.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has now issued new Hajj photography and videography guidelines for pilgrims at the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madina. The new rules have been announced with consideration of the sanctity of the holy sites.
The Ministry further announced in a statement, “In the Two Holy Mosques, we take into account the sanctity of the place, so we have the etiquette of photography, and we preserve the rights of others”
As per the announcement, photography and videography rules include:
- not taking pictures of others without their consent
- not to take anyone’s pictures while they are praying
- not to disturb anyone during worship
