Hajj pilgrimage from Azerbaijan may not take place this year
By Trend
The Hajj pilgrimage from Azerbaijan may not take place this year, the Caucasus Muslims Office (CMO) told Trend.
According to the report, there have been no notifications from Saudi Arabia about the Hajj pilgrimage, and if there is no response, then the Hajj pilgrimage will not be organized this year.
"The Hajj pilgrimage takes place on the basis of a certain procedure (receipt of documents, organization of flights, etc.). All these are time-consuming issues. If a notification is received from Saudi Arabia within this month and the acceptance of documents is resumed, the Hajj may take place, but it will be late next month. The Eid al-Adha occurs once a year, and until then, the Hajj must take place, " report said.
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Azerbaijan has applied certain restriction measures related to social distancing and other preventive measures to decrease the disk of the virus spread.
