A delegation from the Ministry of Guidance and Hajj and Umrah Affairs has left Sana’a International Airport to perform the rituals of Hajj and Umrah for the year 1444 AH. Allama Fouad Naji, the Deputy Minister of Guidance and Hajj and Umrah Affairs, and Abdul Rahman Al-Nami, the Undersecretary of the Hajj and Umrah Sector at the Ministry of Guidance, are among the delegates.
The delegation of the Ministry of Guidance emphasized the importance of performing religious rites and glorifying God’s rituals, specifically the Hajj pilgrimage to the Sacred House of God. The delegates expressed their gratitude to the leader of the revolution, al-Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and the President of the Supreme Political Council for their interest and continuous follow-up to the opening of Sana’a International Airport.
Last Saturday, the first group of Yemeni pilgrims went to the airport to perform the rituals of Hajj for the first time in eight years. The flight carrying the delegation of the Ministry of Guidance and Hajj and Umrah Affairs via Sana’a Airport is the second and has 180 Yemeni pilgrims on board.
The Hajj pilgrimage is a significant event for Muslims around the world, and it is mandatory for those who can afford it and are physically capable of making the journey. The Hajj rituals are performed in and around Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and it is one of the five pillars of Islam.
The Ministry of Guidance and Hajj and Umrah Affairs has been making efforts to assist Yemeni Muslims in performing the Hajj pilgrimage for years, and the reopening of Sana’a International Airport is a significant step towards enabling Yemeni pilgrims to perform their religious obligations. This move is expected to benefit many Yemeni Muslims who were previously unable to travel due to travel restrictions.
In conclusion, the delegation of the Ministry of Guidance and Hajj and Umrah Affairs leaving Sana’a International Airport to perform the rituals of Hajj and Umrah is a significant and positive development for Yemeni Muslims who were unable to perform their religious obligations due to restrictions. The reopening of Sana’a International Airport is essential as it will provide easier access for Yemeni Muslims to perform the Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
