JEDDAH — The Ministry of Haj has warned all Haj missions against transporting any female pilgrims under the age of 45 years old without a mahram (male guardian), said MOH's spokesman Hatim Qadi. No mission has violated these regulations so far this season. Last year, the ministry prohibited 1,000 Nigerian women to perform Haj because they were not accompanied by mahrams. They were all sent back to their home country.
