Theives & Beggars In The Haramayn

[ummtaalib]

Unfortunately even Makkatul Mukarramah & Madeenatul Munawwarah are not free of theft. Watch out for thieves even in the Masjids! A wallet belt is recommended for money and documents worn under the garment.

 

HajjPracticalities advice: Be careful with your wallets/purses/money-belts, as these have been reported to have been snatched away or ripped open, even during Tawaaf/Sa'ee.

 

Unfortunately, there are people who may try to con you with heartbreaking stories, especially in the Holy Places.  Be wary of whom you may wish to give Lillah, or indeed, Zakaat.

 

 

As for beggars, be careful not to pull out all your money as you will be surrounded by more beggars!
