For the first time in the history of the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia, Saudi women have been seen organising the Umrah or small pilgrimage
during the holy month of Ramadan.
According to Saudi media, female security personnel are
participating in organising Umrah at the holy Kaaba. Saudi General Security has
published a video on Twitter, showing female security personnel at the holy
Kaaba. They can be seen cooperating with other security personnel from the
Saudi Ministry of Interior.
According to the Saudi General Security, female security
personnel received Umrah pilgrims and managed the crowds of visitors. They
worked alongside their male counterparts.
Hanan Mohammed, a female security worker, lauded the efforts
of the Saudi Ministry of Interior. She expressed happiness and pride in being
able to manage Umrah during the holy month of Ramadan. People also appreciated
the efforts and work of the female workers.
Sheikh Dr Abdulrahman Al Sudais, General President of the
Affairs of the Grand Mosque and Prophet’s Mosque, lauded the leadership efforts
of Saudi Arabia. He thanked the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman
bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman for their support
in managing the Umrah season.
During the holy month of Ramadan, Saudi Arabia designated
security personnel around the holy sites to manage the crowds performing Umrah.
They help to prevent stampedes at the holy sites. According to the Kingdom’s
Director of Public Security Lieutenant General Mohammed bin Abdullah
al-Bassami, security has planned strategies to control traffic, provide
humanitarian services, and train personnel on the ground. Muslims across the
world have travelled to the Kingdom to undertake Umrah.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia arrested eight expatriates for
promoting fake Umrah campaigns during the holy month of Ramadan. Police
officers accused them of copying and printing offices as their headquarters to
carry out the fake Umrah campaigns.
