Bosnian pilgrims performed Umrah last night, second group departed from Medina for Mecca this morning

The first group of pilgrims from Bosnia and Herzegovina, who arrived in Mecca yesterday afternoon, performed Tawaf and Sa'i after midnight last night, thus completing their Umrah, after which the pilgrims were released from their Ihram obligations, MINA reports, forwarded by Patria.

- Pilgrims from the first four planes arrived safely in Mecca yesterday afternoon, including our oldest pilgrim this year, Bešlaga Bajraktarević, who performed Tawaf and Sa'i last night, thus completing his Umrah. Our pilgrims went to the Haram last night starting at 11 PM and successfully completed their Umrah, finishing the first part of the ritual. As far as I can see, they have rested because I meet them happy and well. We have no extraordinary circumstances. The pilgrims are generally well, with a cold here and there. Also, I would gladly mention that we arrived here in Mecca yesterday to a fully prepared situation. Namely, our advance team consisting of Karahmetović Safet, Ramić Sadžid, Čolo Bahrudin, and Muhamed Halilović did a lion's share of the work, assigned all pilgrims to rooms, and prepared dinner to be ready on time. In short, they prepared everything so that the pilgrims could enter their rooms as soon as they arrived, rest, and prepare well for going to the Haram - said Izet ef. Čamdžić this morning.

Pilgrims from the remaining four planes departed from Mecca for Medina, and their arrival is expected in the late afternoon local time. These pilgrims will also, after a short rest at the hotel, head to the Haram to complete the Umrah ritual and be released from their Ihram obligations.

- Around 10 AM this morning, pilgrims from the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th planes departed from Medina towards Mecca. The pilgrims, in their Ihrams, headed towards the Miqat of Zul-Hulejfa, where they intended to perform Umrah. After a short rest upon arrival in Mecca, around midnight, it is planned for us to perform Umrah with the healthy pilgrims. I want to add that we leave the city of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) with regret, hoping to return here to Medina again, God willing, in the coming years for Umrah or Hajj, to visit our Prophet (peace be upon him) in the hope that through our lives, our conduct, the firmness of our faith, attitudes, and principles, we will earn his intercession on the Day of Judgment - said Nezim ef. Halilović during the departure of the second group of pilgrims from Medina to Mecca this morning.
