Malaysia will not send pilgrims for the haj season this year, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri.
He said the decision on the matter was made after receiving the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah.
“Based on the briefings on June 9 by the Health Ministry, Lembaga Tabung Haji and the Special Muzakarah Committee Meeting of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs, the haj pilgrimage for the 1441H Haj pilgrimage season has been postponed.
“This had been a difficult decision as we know performing the haj is of great importance to Muslims,” he told a press conference here today.
Zulkifli said the syarak has stated that doing things that can cause damage or harm must first be avoided before doing good deeds provided that the maslahah (benefit) derived is far less than the damage that is likely to occur.
