I as an Amirulhaj and the Minister of Religion brought an apology
Makkah (Antara) – Minister of Religion (Minister of Religion) Nasaruddin Umar transferred an apology to the Indonesian pilgrims for various obstacles that accompanied the Hadjj series, starting at the departure to Arafat, Mudsalifah and Mina phases.
“As Amirulhaj and the Minister of Religion, I brought an apology,” said Minister of Religion Nasaruddin Umar in Mecca, Wednesday.
The peak phase of the pilgrimage in Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina is completed. This phase is generally good, even though there is a record of improvements in events that cause the discomfort of pilgrims.
Minister of Religion Nasaruddin explained that there were a few pilgrims those problems during the arrival phase to the peak of the pilgrimage in Armuzna. For example, there are married couples or children, or the elderly and their individual hotel mates in Mecca.
There are also pilgrims who experience obstacles in the placement of tents in Arafat. In addition, there was also a delay in picking up in Muzdalifah because the congestion to the evacuation process was just completed 09.40 (or 40 minutes late from the goal was completed 09.00).
