Cairo, 05 Dhu-AlHijjah,1438 AH, 27 August,2017 , SPA -- A number of scholars of the Arab Republic of Egypt have appreciated the efforts and services being provided by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to serve pilgrims from all countries. They expressed their happiness over the King's order to host 1000 pilgrims from the families of the martyrs of Egyptian armed forces and police and his directives to transport Qatari pilgrims by air at his own expense to perform Hajj rituals which were rejected by Qatari authorities. They stressed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, has been making every effort to serve pilgrims, as well as exploiting its material and human resources for the care of the Two Holy Mosques and the Holy Sites. They also rejected malicious claims to politicize Hajj, stressing that the claims for politicizing Hajj are malicious ideas being issued only from the malicious or envious of the Kingdom. -- SPA 13:00 LOCAL TIME 10:00 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w474852
