The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON, has advised Nigerian pilgrims to observe Juma’at prayer at the nearest mosque, not necessarily Haram mosque due to harsh weather.
NAHCON disclosed that the Saudi Arabia Metrological Agency has stated that the temperature woukd reach 50 degrees centigrade tomorrow, Friday 8th July, 2023.
In a statement by Dr. I M. Sodangi , NAHCON ‘s Makkah Coordinator on Thursday, the commission said in view of the condition, the Saudi Government had advised pilgrims to observe the Jumma’at prayers in the Mosques nearest to them in order not to expose themselves to the harsh weather.
“Nigeria Pilgrims are therefore enjoined to comply with this directive,” NAHCON advised.
