​Civil Defense forces participating in Hajj operations confirmed the prohibition on the entry and use of liquefied gas cylinders of all types and sizes in pilgrim hospitality centers and government facilities within the Holy Sites, effective from the morning of the first day of Dhu Al-Hijjah. The measure comes as part of comprehensive preventive efforts implemented by Civil Defense to reduce fire risks during the 1447 AH Hajj season.
The forces stated that any gas cylinders or cooking stoves found in use will be confiscated, and legal procedures will be taken against violators in coordination with the relevant security authorities.
Civil Defense explained that preventive supervision teams will intensify monitoring and inspection campaigns to ensure that gas is not used in the Holy Sites of Mina, Muzdalifah, and Arafat, covering all locations and facilities within the Holy Sites area to preserve the safety and security of pilgrims.​​
