The National Office of Hajj and Umrah (ONHO) has issued a strong warning to citizens regarding the circulation of inaccurate information pertaining to Hajj and Umrah activities. The office urges the public to refrain from relying on unofficial sources, including social media pages and individuals, that disseminate unverified news and details.
In a statement released today, ONHO emphasized that certain entities are, either intentionally or unintentionally, publishing premature information before official announcements are made. This includes details regarding Hajj dates, procedural timelines, costs, organizational aspects, travel programs, and even matters of Islamic jurisprudence.
The dissemination of such inaccurate information, according to the statement, leads to significant confusion among citizens and can potentially mislead individuals into making decisions based on false premises. ONHO stresses the importance of verifying information solely through official channels.
The National Office of Hajj and Umrah calls upon everyone to avoid sharing or circulating any information before it is officially released by the ONHO’s authorized platforms. The office affirmed that any misleading practices or the spread of incorrect information will be subject to investigation by the relevant authorities, in order to protect citizens and ensure the timely delivery of accurate information.
ONHO reiterated its commitment to providing reliable and up-to-date information through its official website and communication channels. Citizens are encouraged to consult these sources for all matters related to Hajj and Umrah.
