Fines of SR10,000 will be imposed on Saudi citizens, expatriates, and visitors who violate this rule.

The penalties apply within Makkah, the Central Haram Area, holy sites of Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah, the Haramain train station in Rusayfah, security control centers, pilgrims’ grouping centers, and temporary security control centers.

The penalties will be imposed regardless of nationality or legal status.

The Ministry of Interior in Saudi Arabia has announced increased penalties for violators of Hajj regulations.

Repeat offenders could face fines up to SR100,000 and deportation, with a ban on reentry.

Those transporting violators will be imprisoned for up to six months and fined up to SR50,000.

Vehicles used for transporting violators may also be confiscated through a court order, and expatriate offenders will be deported after serving their jail term and paying the fine.

The text outlines new regulations for violators of Hajj pilgrimage rules in Saudi Arabia.

Those banned will be prevented from reentering the kingdom for specified periods, and fines will be increased for repeat offenders.

The ministry aims to improve the Hajj experience for pilgrims by cracking down on illegal entry.

Seasonal administrative committees will handle violations, and field control agencies will transfer offenders for penalties.

The Public Security in Saudi Arabia has arrested over 20,000 people holding various types of visit visas for violating Hajj regulations.

These individuals were not allowed to remain in Makkah during the specified period, as their visit visas do not permit them to perform Hajj.

The Public Security strongly advised visitors with any type of visit visa to avoid traveling to or staying in Makkah from May 23 until June 21.
