He added, the Health Ministry and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC), as well as the Umrah and Haj Travel Agencies’ Association (PAPUH) will assist the prospective pilgrims affected by the postponement.
“I’m very sorry to those who want to go for the umrah, but the harm is public health… no Muslim minister wants to postpone the umrah, but this is a serious matter, this is not a tweet on social media, not a video on tiktok, this is about life,” Khairy said.
