Saudi tells Muslims to wait on Hajj plans amid coronavirus crisis
--:--
Saudi Arabia has asked Muslims to wait until there is more clarity about the coronavirus pandemic before planning hajj. The Minister for Hajj and Umrah, Mohammed Saleh Bente, was addressing Saudi television on Tuesday night. Just last month, Saudi Arabia suspended the umrah pilgrimage over fears of the new coronavirus spreading to Islam's holiest cities - in what was an unprecedented move that has raised uncertainty over hajj.
