The pilgrims of the world landed in Arafa safely and went to Muzdalifa
The travellers have already taken the road to Muzdalifa, where they want to pray at the evening and Isha prayers. After that, they will camp until dawn, when they will take the road to throw Satan.
The Saudi Arabian government said that all of the travellers from around the world have safely returned from Arafa, where they spent all day Tuesday worshipping and praying.
The travellers have already taken the road to Muzdalifa, where they want to pray at the evening and Isha prayers. After that, they will camp until dawn, when they will take the road to throw Satan.
Pilgrims will look for rocks to throw there. Scholars say that the sick and old were given a discount so that they could spend the night somewhere other than Muzdalifa.
Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah, Saudi Arabia's Minister of Hajj and Umrah, said on Tuesday that 1,845,045 people from 150 countries have done the Arafan.
The minister was reported by the Saudi Press Agency as saying that pilgrims had been taken to Arafat and that the trip was safe.
The National Statistics Agency told the Saudi Gazette that 346,214 pilgrims from Arab countries are the most this year. This is a 21 percent increase from last year.
And there are 221,863 pilgrims from countries in Africa that are not Arab. This is 13.4 percent of all tourists on the continent.
36,521 pilgrims from Europe, the United States, Australia, and other places who were not in a group made up 2.1 percent of the total.
