In a statement to the newspaper, a relative (Imad Al-Din Khalafallah Ahmed) said, "I work as a coordinator with the Coordinating Council for the institutions and companies serving the pilgrims inside, and my cousin, the engineer Omar Awad Al-Karim Saleh, works as an engineer in the city of Khobar in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom."

For the second year in a row, Saudi Arabia holds the Hajj ritual with a limited number of pilgrims, amounting to only 60,000 from inside the Kingdom, in light of strict health controls for fear of the repercussions of Corona.

The year 1441 AH (2020 AD) witnessed an exceptional Hajj season due to the outbreak of the virus, as the number of pilgrims at that time was limited to about 10 thousand from within the Kingdom only, compared to about 2.5 million pilgrims in the previous year from all over the world.
