A delegation from the Ministry of Guidance and Hajj and Umrah Affairs left Sana’a International Airport heading to the holy sites to perform the rituals of Hajj and Umrah for the year 1444 AH.
The delegation includes the Deputy Minister of Guidance and Hajj and Umrah Affairs, Allama Fouad Naji, the Undersecretary of the Hajj and Umrah Sector at the Ministry of Guidance, Abdul Rahman Al-Nami and a number of scholarly, social, and tribal figures.
The delegation of the Ministry of Guidance emphasized the importance of presenting and performing religious rites, and glorifying God’s rituals, foremost of which is the Hajj pilgrimage to the Sacred House of God.
They expressed their sincere thanks and great gratitude to the leader of the revolution, al-Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and the President of the Supreme Political Council for their interest and continuous follow-up to the opening of Sana’a International Airport and the inauguration of the first group of Yemeni pilgrims through the airport last Saturday, after eight years of imposing a ban on it and preventing Yemenis from traveling to perform the rituals of Hajj.
It is noteworthy that the flight carrying the delegation of the Ministry of Guidance and Hajj and Umrah Affairs via Sana’a Airport is the second that carries 180 Yemeni pilgrims, after the first flight launched last Saturday and carried 273 pilgrims on board.
