Riyadh — Anyone caught coming to perform Umrah without having a permit will face a fine of SR10,000. The public security warned on Saturday.
The public security said it would check pilgrims’ permits in the Tawakkalna application. The permits will be checked against the national identity, residence, passport number, or border number.
