News-World: Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi stressed that Saudi regime's ban on Hajj for the second year under the pretext of Corona is a very dangerous matter and represents an insult to the Sacred House of God.

"We do not see in the pretext of Corona a justification for Saudi regime to prevent the pilgrimage from the countries of the world," Sayyed Abdulmalik said.

He pointed out that one of the most important things related to Hajj is that it is a global learning meeting, pointing out that restricting Hajj to a specific country and to limited number represents violation of sanctity of this pillar, and it is dangerous step for Islamic world.

Sayyed Abdulmalik considered Saudi Arabia's justifications, which many Islamic countries accepted, to be neither convincing nor legitimate, stressing that epidemics or any other circumstances could be taken into consideration, and that pilgrimage should maintain its global role.

Sayyed Abdulmalik called on Saudi regime to stop preventing the obligation of Hajj and to open the way for people to perform Hajj and Umrah, calling on Islamic countries that accepted Saudi justifications to reconsider the ban on Hajj and to turn to pressure, demands and insistence on the Saudi regime to open the way for Hajj.

He added that Saudi regime opened the way for the activities of the Entertainment Authority without pretexting Corona.
