The authorities said that the move was aimed at easing congestion in the Grand Mosque in Makkah during Ramazan.

The holy month usually marks the peak season of Umrah at Makkah where thousands of Muslim worshippers flock for the lesser pilgrimage.

Urging the pilgrims to make do with one Umrah in Ramazan, the ministry called for giving others the chance to perform Umrah.

The Saudi government has introduced the measure in the Nusuk, a Saudi government’s online Umrah and Hajj platform.
