Hundreds of people have died during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia as the faithful faced intense high temperatures at Islamic holy sites in the desert kingdom.
People who went the official route, getting a permit and going through a company were ok as they stayed in air conditioned places most the time. These people spend upwards of $5k and much more.
People who couldn’t afford it went through unofficial routes and were forced to sleep outside and had to walk everywhere and even some had to sneak into makkah through the fucking desert.
Islam doesn’t force people to go through pilgrimage unless they can do it both physically and monetarily.
Also even of the ones that went through the official route MANY of them are super old with medical conditions and shouldn’t have even boarded the plane.
This is mostly because people are dumbasses.
