According to the report, the representative of the Supreme Leader in Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs, referring to the measures taken by Saudi Arabia in pilgrimage cities and holy places in Medina and Mecca to fight the coronavirus, said: In the current situation, the health and well-being of the pilgrims should be a priority in the forthcoming policies and programs of Hajj, and if the Hajj is held with any quota, the health protocols of both countries should be observed in order to maintain the safety and health of the pilgrims.


In the continuation of this meeting, the programs of the week of Hajj, which will be held from the first to the seventh of the month of Dhu al-Qadah (Tir 3 to 9), were discussed and the participants expressed their views for holding the best programs of this week.


At the beginning of the meeting, Hojjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Navvab expressed his condolences on the anniversary of the martyrdom of the Ja’fari religion head, Imam Sadegh (AS) and said: One of the important advices of that Imam was to hold prayer.


The representative of the Supreme Leader in Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs, pointing out that most of the books of Hadith are related to the narrations from Imam Ja’far al-Sadigh and Imam Mohammad al-Baqir (As), added: they were able to take significant steps to introduce Islamic culture and civilization.


He then referred to the story of the Hunin battle and how the polytheists of the Taif region were defeated and said: "Wherever there is pride, whether on the right or wrong front, the result is disregard for divine inspirations and it hurts."


Hojjat al-Islam Navvab also recalled the current situation in the United States and the arrogance of its leaders, adding that the superpower, which considered itself the undisputed power in the world, is now deeply involved in the corona and has the highest number of casualties.
