The Pakistan Hajj Mission has issued urgent guidelines for pilgrims staying in the Al-Aziziyah (Makkah), emphasizing that all pilgrims must ensure their arrival at the Masjid al-Haram at least half an hour before the call to prayer (Azan) to offer congregational prayers.
According to the Pakistan Hajj Mission, the dedicated shuttle service is completely suspended 30 minutes prior to each Azan to manage traffic flow and control overcrowding. Pilgrims are advised to depart from their residential buildings well in advance to avoid any inconvenience or missing the transport.
The Mission further suggested that, for maximum convenience, pilgrims should aim to leave for the Haram via buses approximately one hour before the Azan.
This proactive approach is essential to ensure that all worshippers reach the Masjid al-Haram premises before the shuttle service closes, allowing them to find their places in the prayer rows and engage in worship with peace of mind.
Additionally, an appeal has been made to the pilgrims to refrain from rushing back to their residences immediately after the conclusion of prayers.
Pilgrims are encouraged to remain within the Haram for a brief period and depart for the bus stands approximately 30 minutes after the prayer ends.
This measure is intended to alleviate the sudden surge in crowds at the shuttle points, ensuring that pilgrims especially the elderly and those with health conditions can return to their accommodations comfortably and safely.
As per the schedule released by the Pakistan Hajj Mission, the final departure times from residential buildings have been set as follows: 03:30 AM for Fajr, 11:18 AM for Dhuhr, 02:40 PM for Asr, 05:45 PM for Maghrib, and 07:15 PM for Isha.
All pilgrims are requested to strictly adhere to this timetable to ensure a smooth and hassle-free spiritual journey.
