Penalties will be enforced in Makkah, Central Haram Area, holy sites of Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifah, Haramain train station, security control centers, pilgrims’ grouping centers, and temporary security control centers.

The Saudi Arabian ministry has announced penalties for those without a Hajj permit in the specific Makkah area.

Violators, including citizens, expatriates, and visitors, will face a fine of SR10,000.

Repeat offenders will be fined up to SR100,000 and expatriates will be deported and banned from reentering the Kingdom.
