Jouf businesses to feed Hajj pilgrims transiting province
RIYADH: The Jouf Chamber of Commerce has launched an initiative to support pilgrims passing through the region on their way to perform Hajj. The organization in the northern Saudi Arabia province will supply pilgrims with around 300 care packages, including essential hygiene products, when they visit Pilgrim's City in Al-Shaqiq, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday. Additionally, local businesses will be stepping up to provide meals and refreshments for the pilgrims as they pass through the province, heading to Makkah and Madinah. The climax of the Hajj season, known as Arafat day, will possibly be on June 5, depending on the sighting of the moon. Volunteers will be on hand to assist the visitors. On Monday, Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court called on Muslims in the country to look for the new moon of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah around dusk on Tuesday. The Hajj is one of the key pillars of Islam and requires pilgrims to perform various rituals at the holy sites in Makkah. After completing the Hajj, many pilgrims travel to Madinah to visit the Prophet's Mosque, before heading home.
