Saudi Gazette report
RIYADH — Hajj Security Forces arrested a Saudi citizen and Yemeni resident, who applied for visit visas for individuals outside the Kingdom, through commercial entities that colluded with them, to enable them to perform Hajj illegally.
They were found to have violated Hajj regulations and instructions. The arrested persons were referred to the competent authority to enforce the legally prescribed penalties against them.
The Public Security warned that a financial fine of up to SR100000 will be slapped on anyone who submitted an application to issue visit visa of any type for a person who performed or attempted to perform Hajj without a permit, or entered the city of Makkah and the holy sites or stayed there from the first day of Dhul Qada (April 29) until the end of the 14th of Dhul Hijjah, and the fines are multiplied by the number of people involved in the violations.
