Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk … Saudi wants politics kept out of hajj
By: Abdulali
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: After Iran’s supreme leader
Ayatullah Ali Khamenei advised his people to promote the Iranian
point of view at hajj, a top Saudi official warned against mixing
politics with the forthcoming annual pilgrimage to the holy city of
Makkah.
In an interview with daily Al-Watan paper, Saudi Hajj Minister Fouad
al-Farsi said the hajj should not be used for a special agenda or
for political purposes. He didn’t mention Iran by name.
Iran’s supreme leader criticized what he called “insults” and
actions against pilgrims who visit Shiite shrines during the
pilgrimage season.
“These actions are against unity and in line with the objectives and
demands of the US and foreign intelligence services. The Saudi
government must confront such actions,” Khamenei told a group of
Iranian hajj officials this week.
Shiite pilgrims have always been prevented from praying at shrines
during hajj season and throughout the year.
