The decision comes as part of the government\u2019s efforts to mitigate overcrowding and ensure a safer pilgrimage experience for all participants.<br \/>\nThe implementation of this policy will be facilitated through Nusuk, a Saudi government platform that handles the electronic processing of Umrah permits. Should an individual attempt to apply for multiple Umrah permits within Ramadan, they will be met with a notification indicating the failure to obtain additional permits.<br \/>\nThis move underscores the government\u2019s commitment to prioritizing public health and safety while also preserving the sanctity of the Umrah pilgrimage. By limiting the number of Umrah pilgrimages per individual, authorities aim to distribute the opportunity for spiritual fulfillment more evenly among all prospective pilgrims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Makkah The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah on Sunday introduced a new Umrah policy during Ramadan.
