Algerian pilgrims have successfully concluded their Hajj rituals, marking the end of the Tashreeq days in Mina. The pilgrims completed their spiritual journey under meticulously organized arrangements, underscoring the effectiveness of the logistical and service provisions.
Algerian pilgrims complete Hajj rituals
Following the completion of the Tashreeq days and the stoning of the Jamarat, pilgrims performed the Tawaf al-Ifada and Tawaf al-Wada' (farewell circumambulation) as they prepared to depart from Mecca.
A significant portion of the Algerian pilgrims opted for an early departure, leaving Mina after completing the Jamarat ritual on the second day of Tashreeq. This decision was made considering their health conditions and to avoid the potential hardships of remaining and traveling further, taking advantage of the Islamic dispensation that allows for early departure after completing the prescribed rituals.
Arrangements for the phased return of pilgrims to Algeria are currently underway. These movements are being managed according to specific flight schedules, with departures commencing on Sunday and continuing until June 21st.
This year's Hajj saw over 41,000 Algerian pilgrims, who were accommodated in 55 hotels in Mecca. The entire operation was facilitated by the National Office of Hajj and Umrah, in collaboration with 50 tourism agencies.
