Extreme weather conditions in Saudi Arabia this Hajj season pose a\nserious challenge for pilgrims. With temperatures reaching 44 degrees\nCelsius, Hajj pilgrims from Aceh and Indonesia in general are advised to\nmaintain their stamina and avoid pushing themselves to perform sunnah\n(optional) prayers that are physically demanding in the lead-up to the\npeak of the Hajj.<\/p>\n
These scorching conditions have the potential to drain energy and\ncause extreme fatigue, which could affect pilgrims\u2019 health as they face\nthe series of peak Hajj rituals in Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina\n(Armuzna).<\/p>\n
Hajj guidance officer from the Aceh Province\u2019s Hajj and Umrah\nGuidance Group (KBIHU) Ibnu Mas\u2019ud, Abdullah AR, reminded pilgrims,\nespecially the elderly and those with health risks, to prioritize their\nphysical fitness.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe weather temperature reaching 44 degrees Celsius is quite\ndraining for anyone. Pilgrims, especially those who are not physically\nfit, are advised not to force themselves to go to the Grand Mosque for\nsunnah prayers,\u201d Abdullah said through Media Indonesia, Saturday\n(16\/5).<\/p>\n
Abdullah suggested that pilgrims perform sunnah prayers in\ncongregation at mosques near their hotels or in their respective\naccommodations. This step is important to conserve energy for the\nupcoming wukuf procession and other mandatory Hajj rituals that require\nextra strength.<\/p>\n
Special advice is also given to pilgrims who are performing Hajj\nTamattu\u2019 and have completed their obligatory Umrah. They are asked to\npostpone performing additional Umrah until all the pillars and\nobligatory Hajj rituals are completed.<\/p>\n
Abdullah, who is also a former Head of the Pidie Regency Office of\nthe Ministry of Religious Affairs, emphasized that there are still ample\nopportunities to increase the performance of sunnah prayers after the\npeak of the Hajj. Currently, the main focus is to complete the pillars\nof the Hajj in prime physical condition.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, gather energy to complete the peak of the Hajj in Arafah. After\nthe series in Armuzna ends, feel free to perform other sunnah prayers as\nlong as your physical condition allows,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
He hopes that with good activity management, this year\u2019s Hajj\npilgrims can carry out all the rituals smoothly and return to their\nhomeland as pilgrims whose Hajj is accepted. \u201cHopefully, this year\u2019s\npilgrims will have an accepted and blessed Hajj, following in the\nfootsteps of the prophets,\u201d Abdullah concluded.
