The Ministry of Hajj of Saudi Arabia announced that taking pictures and filming inside the holy places of Mecca and Medina is prohibited.
The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Endowments has also emphasized that pilgrims cannot produce or distribute newspapers without the permission of this ministry.
The Saudi authorities announced that this ban was imposed in the framework of the protection and maintenance of these holy places, as well as maintaining the peace of the pilgrims during Hajj and worship.
In recent years, pilgrims have published many pictures of these holy places on social networks.
On the other hand, some critics believe that such actions are more suitable for tourist tours and contradict the nature of pilgrimage and worship in these places.
