Foreign Policy magazine reported that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's policies against the countries of the region and the violation of human rights prompted some Muslim scholars to issue fatwas not to go to Hajj.
The writer and political analyst Ahmed Taweej said in his article in the American magazine that the majority of the world calls for economic, religious and political measures against Saudi Arabia because of its policies that caused the largest humanitarian disaster in the world war in Yemen, and indirect attacks on Syria, Libya, Tunisia, Sudan and Algeria, On the arms embargo only.
The writer pointed out that some Muslim scholars called for boycotting the pilgrimage, because its money is pumped into the Saudi economy and contributes to the financing of arms deals concluded by Riyadh and feeds its policies in the region and encourages them to violate the rights of Muslims.
Mohammed bin Salman has only Trump
He added that if the administration of US President Donald Trump failed to win a second term, Saudi Arabia's leadership of the Islamic and Arab worlds would be severely affected.
He pointed out that Wisma calling for the boycott of Saudi Arabia has been very popular on the Twitter social networking site by more than 16 thousand.
The writer concluded that if the situation continues as it is, it is likely that the status of Saudi Arabia as a spiritual center of Islam will be eliminated, not to mention the possibility of an economic blow as well.
The pilgrimage is very important for Riyadh, pumping $ 12 billion a year and is expected to rise to $ 150 billion in 2022 because of the kingdom's investment in large hotels.
In a related vein, Tuwaij said this was not the first time a political dimension of the pilgrimage had been made, with Saudi Arabia already blocking the arrival of Qatari and Iranian pilgrims because of political differences.
