Saleh Al-Fawzan, who sits on Saudi Arabia's Council of Senior Scholars, the highest Islamic organisation in the kingdom, argued in 2014 that some of those who go to the Kaaba to take photos should have their cameras destroyed, news website Arabi 21 reported. Taking photos at Mecca's Great Mosque used to be illegal and there were religious rulings, or fatwas, that declared it banned in Islam.
The ministry's advice discourages pilgrims from taking photos but is not seen as an official ban. "Respect the privacy of others while they are performing rituals," the ministry told pilgrims, adding that they should "avoid photographing any private situation." The move to allow women under the age of 45 to perform pilgrimage without a male chaperone - known as 'mahram' in Arabic - has been halted "indefinitely", according to Saeed Bahashwan, member of the Saudi national committee for Hajj and Umrah ⬇ Ramadan is a particularly popular time for this pilgrimage. Many Muslims also perform Umrah, the optional minor pilgrimage, if they can. Muslims flock to Mecca's Great Mosque during the Hajj - the major pilgrimage performed during the last month of the Islamic calendar and is mandatory for Muslims who are able to, at least once in their lifetimes. Muslims from around the world visit Kaaba for pilgrimage. Holy Kaaba is the most venerated and the most visited place by the muslims. It is also the location which Muslims face in prayer. Is this a place specified only for VIP’s The answer is a No, because all the muslims are allowed to enter Kaaba. The Kaaba is believed to have been constructed by Prophet Ibrahim, or Abraham, alongside his son Ismail, and is the holiest place in Islam.
