‘Illegality’ is probably in the eye of the beholder here:
AFP/France 24, Hajj on the cheap: off-the-books pilgrims hide out in Mecca, 5 Jun 2024. “Living on canned beans and meat, the 70-year-old Egyptian has been hiding out in a Mecca apartment for weeks, hoping to evade a Saudi dragnet and perform the hajj pilgrimage illegally.”
This was definitely my story of the day.
Just to update on this – Inside the Haramain reports on arrests following ‘illegal hajj’ facilitation.
