Why non-Muslims are not allowed to Enter in Makkah and Perform the Hajj? |
Posted: December 13, 2018 |
Did you know why non-Muslims are not allowed to perform Hajj and go to Mecca? Have you an idea why non-Muslims get penalties like a fine or ban from the Saudi authorities? Though, they are allowed to go in Medina with the exception of Nabawi square, where “Masjid Al Nabawi” is located. Even though Jews and Christians have a belief in Abraham God, they are not permitted to enter Makkah to perform Hajj. But why this inequality? Carry on reading this article. As I have extracted some reasons why non-Muslims cannot go to perform Hajj? The Hajj Organizers The Hajj Organizers of Saudi Arabia take the whole tasks very seriously. So, it is silly to think that a non-Muslim can become unnoticed among the huge crowd of pilgrims. And the chances of being undetected among a huge massive crowd of hajjis is very minor or few. I am not saying that it is totally impossible. Yet it has happened a few times in the history of Islam. Let me tell you one incident among them. In 2015, a white British who was a non-Muslim was successfully managed to fake-converting himself to go to Hajj. But I repeat this type of cases are rare and minor to occur only once in centuries. The Saudi government is doing its responsibilities very carefully from thousands of years, and they are not an idiot. Condition to Enter in Hajj: Legal entrance into the country is strongly controlled, and the documentation which requires to make the best deals of hajj visa is extremely detailed. Before going to hajj trip, you must have to book yourself through any hajj organizer or travel agent. A western who is converted into a Muslim is also allowed to go on a Hajj, for this purpose, he or she must show the documentation and paperwork from an Imam. The imam must be witnessed and attested in written form that he knows this person and he is a real convert. If you are a non-Muslim and if you think that you come with a regular tourist visa and the silently make your way to Mecca, this strategy will not work and you will totally fail. The only possible way for a non-Muslim to come to Saudi Arabia is to necessarily play a long fraud,(which is not a light task and quite impossible ), acting like a recently converted Muslim to convince any imam that you are true and real. This has also happened once before. So, my point is that, you have to go through a lot of troubles, and the high risks from being banned for life-time from the Saudi country.
