The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia has canceled the maximum ages for pilgrims coming from abroad, which means allowing the issuance of permits and booking appointments to perform Umrah for the elderly coming from abroad.

The decision to cancel came, after the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah confirmed earlier that those who are allowed to issue Umrah and prayer permits in the Great Mosque of Mecca for those coming from outside Saudi Arabia are between the ages of 18 and 50 years, but it canceled the setting of the upper limit of ages of fifty years, so that the category is approved. The age allowed to come for Umrah from abroad is between 18 years and above, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Health.
