Nearly 2 Million Muslims Complete Hajj in Mecca

Around 1.8 million international pilgrims and 100,000 local worshippers performed key Hajj rituals in Saudi Arabia. After standing at Arafat on the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah, pilgrims moved to Muzdalifah, then proceeded to Mina to stone the devil, sacrifice animals, and shave before removing their ihram. They completed the final rites with Tawaf and Sa’i in Mecca, officially earning the title of “Hajji.”
