SA embassy warns against non-Muslims entry in Holy Makkah
By: Nizam Hussain
MANILA, Philippines: The Saudi embassy in Manila has
issued a warning that entry of non-Muslims into the holy cities of
Makkah and Medinah is strictly prohibited, the Department of Foreign
Affairs (DFA) said Tuesday.
Holy Makkah is home to Holy Ka’bah and damaged holy cemetery of Moalla
while Medinah hosts holy shrine of holy prophet Muhammad (p) and
bulldozed holy cemetery of Al-Baqee.
Oscar G. Valenzuela, DFA Assistant Secretary for Middle East and
African Affairs, said transgressors are subject to severe punishment
if caught.
He said the Saudi Arabian embassy has warned that such infractions may
have serious religious repercussions.
Reports reaching the DFA said false certificates of Muslim identity
have been used by some overseas workers to illegally enter Saudi
Arabia as umrah and hajj pilgrims. The Office of Muslim Affairs
earlier warned that persons found in possession of or attempting to
obtain false certificates of Muslim identity will be prosecuted.
