Makkah (Antara) -The Saudi -Arabian Hajj (PPIH) Organizers have 477 older Hajj participants, a high risk and people with disabilities have been able to have and have now been sent back to their respective hotels in Mecca.
“At the moment, some pilgrims who participate in the Safari Wukuf program have returned to their respective hotels. And some of us plans tonight to return to the original hotel,” said director -general of Hajj and Umrah Hilman Letatie in Mekkah, Tuesday.
Earlier, prior to the peak of the pilgrimage in Arafat, they were placed in the transithotel. Hilman also followed the evacuation or return process of pilgrims who became members of the Safari Wukuf in the Transit Hotel back to their respective board homes.
Hilman hopes that the Safari Wukuf program will be an alternative that will still be developed as the best service for pilgrims.
“This program is an alternative that we continue to develop because it is very useful for pilgrims who have difficulty implementing pilgrimage, especially during Wukuf at Arafat. It can be due to physical limitations, congenital diseases or mobility that is not enough,” Hilman said.
Hilman expressed his thanks to around 120 hajj officers who accompanied 477 Safari Wukuf participants. According to him, the officers carried out their mandate with full patience, patience and sincerity to serve pilgrims Safari Wukuf.
“I thank you for the dedication of more than 120 officers who accompanied the Safari Wukuf congregation. Of course, patience, patience and sincerity are needed to offer the best service,” said Hilman.
The Ministry of Religion is planning to turn Safari Wukuf into a superior program from the Ministry of Religion.
“We will report on the Saudi Arab Government about Safari Wukuf and God Willing, will be a superior program,” said Hilman.
Although Safari Wukuf will be used as a superior program, Hilman hopes that the number of pilgrims will decrease next year, as an indication of increasing Istithaah or the health possibilities of Indonesian pilgrims.
“Instead, we want to reduce the amount because we want to increase the Istithaah. If the number of Safari Wukuf Pelgrims increases from year to year, it means that the Istithaah is less successful. We want to be so stronger so that the pilgrimage process becomes easier for pilgrims,” he said.
Of the 2,600 proposed people who came to the Safari Wukuf this year, only 477 pilgrims were scored to participate in the program.
“Next year I hope that Istithaah is better, so that the number of Wukuf -Safari -Pelgrims will decrease,” said Hilman.
