After Ramadan 2022, the most frequently asked question on various forums is ‘When will Umrah open after Hajj 2022’. This time Hajj 2022 is coming on Thu, 7 July. Hence, this annual ceremony will continue for 5 days. Probably, this year Umrah will be reopened in August after Hajj.
Hajj and Umrah are both working as the bridge between the Lord and his servants. It is not written in any of the Qur’anic verses and books of hadith that Umrah is better than Hajj. Both are significant, but greater is Hajj than Umrah in terms of reward.
After relieving the public of the COVID 19 prohibitions, Saudi Arabia has restarted the focus of the 2030 Vision. A new COVID 19 variant wave is beginning to affect normal life there. But with some advanced precautions, people’s health and lives have been saved.
Read this article ‘British Cyclists Reached For Hajj After 6 Weeks‘ in previous year. Let’s dive to know why the Ministry will reopen the Umrah in August. According to some unofficial news, people will start to do their Umrah after August. Reopen month will be Aug, which is not clarified on any official sources.
Will Umrah open in August after Hajj?
To know the time of reopening the Umrah ceremony, we should follow the old analytics. Almost a month after the Hajj, the state had opened the doors of reception for Umrah pilgrims. This time the permit will be issued to the aspirants after July.
Is Umrah affordable now?
Yes, this time around the rates of airlines and hotels will be lower than on other days. This year August, September and October are called cheap months. But because of the hot weather, August may not be a good month for Westerners. But the temperature starts to drop but it doesn’t happen very fast. Therefore, September and October may be more appropriate months.
Some travel agents may try a blind game with you by saying that rates are rising due to the Coronavirus but believe me it would be a hoax. You should do your full homework when booking the Umrah package.
What are your basic needs for Umrah 2022?
To make a good strategy before doing anything is a surety to get the desired need. So the implementation of some new rules and regulations make it a hurdle journey.
- Be fully vaccinated
- Do PCR test in 48 hours before arrival airport. PCR test must be negative otherwise is ineligible.
- A tourist visa is another option for Umrah travellers.
- Use a facemask to cover your face in public places.
- Don’t neglect the social distance.
- Under the 12-year-old children are out of the list to perform Umrah.
- If eight months have elapsed since the second dose of coronavirus, the booster jab must be taken.
We hope Umrah be again done after Hajj 2022 in August but it may vary. May Ministry reopen visa submission in September. Fewer rates and much space can make our entire journey is ease. Here rates mean prices of airlines, hotels, transports, etc. And many spaces means anyone can get easily required accommodation in Mecca and Medina.
So, this time August is a good chance to perform Umrah for each of them who left this trip every year only for financial issues. May Allah help us to perform it. Ameen
