Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has announced that the year-round umrah pilgrimage will gradually resume by October, 4.

The interior ministry said on Tuesday.

According to the ministry, in the first stage, 6,000 citizens and residents within the kingdom will be allowed to perform the umrah per day from October, 4.

The ministry said this in a statement published by the official Saudi Press Agency.

Visitors from outside the kingdom will be permitted from November, 1, when umrah’s capacity will be raised to 20,000 pilgrims per day, the ministry explained.

The umrah, which refers to the Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah that can be undertaken at any time of the year, usually involves millions of Muslims from across the globe each year.

The ministry said umrah would be allowed to resume at full capacity once the threat of the pandemic is eliminated.

Saudi Arabia suspended the umrah in March and suspended the annual hajj over fear that the coronavirus could cause fatalities during pilgrimage
