Umrah

​Apparently there's a new law as of two weeks ago that you have to be 21 years of age or older to go to Saudi Arabia for Umrah.

My brother was just refused his Visa because of this and he can't go Umrah.

Does anyone know more about this law or know about it all?

Sounds like b******t to me.

First I have heard of it.

Do you mean that atleast one person in a group has to be older, or all of them?

I think that at least one person in the group has to be. The thing is he's supposed to meet up with a group but his visa got delayed and now they are saying they wont give it cause of his age.

First i've heard of it. It's different for each country though isn't it?

I heard that in some countries they don't let you go until you are 40 years old :?

read ur status on fb and got a bit worried, uncle phoned up the dude who's organising our tickets and visas. He said there is no such law in place, just that during the busy season entry has become more strict and that they can reject without any good reason...i'm not sure about my own, inshAllah it all goes well tho, flying on the 2nd inshAllah.

Insha Allah.
