The Muslim World League (MWL) has issued a statement on behalf of all scholars under its umbrella, in which it supported the precautionary measures taken by Saudi Arabia for this year's Hajj season aimed to confront the new mutated strain of the Coronavirus pandemic. MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Association of Muslim Scholars, Dr. Muhammad bin AbdulKarim Al-Issa, said the rules of Islamic law emphasize the inevitability of taking all safety precautions in such a pandemic, adding that a number of senior scholars of the Islamic world contacted the MWL expressing support for the Kingdom's decision regarding the Hajj season for this year. The statement valued the exceptional efforts made by the Saudi government, which clearly demonstrates its concern for the safety of visitors and pilgrims of the Grand Holy Mosque and visitors to the Prophet's Holy Mosque.
