Hajj pilgrims have been requested to prioritize the preservation and protection of the environment while performing rituals

Pilgrims attending the Hajj are asked to put the preservation and conservation of the environment first when conducting rituals, by the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture, to protect the Holy Sites from defilement, and to keep them clean. All pilgrims should adhere to the environmental instructions and recommendations that have been supplied by the Ministry in order to adopt responsible environmental behaviour.

The Ministry has emphasised the need for recycling tools and materials used throughout the rites in order to significantly minimise waste created as part of its awareness campaign, which was started during the current Hajj season. The usage of common items and tools for this purpose has been advocated for the pilgrims.

Additionally, the Ministry has highlighted straightforward actions that might help pilgrims cut down on trash creation by emphasising the purchase of durable, ecologically friendly goods. Consumers should also choose items created from recyclable materials. Recycling may also be practised by pilgrims attending the Hajj by appropriately disposing of Ihram cloth instead than dumping it in public areas. This would lessen trash generation while safeguarding the environment and the sacredness of Holy Sites.
