He added that in line with Islamic principles, their new status remains intact for at least 41 days if they can avoid committing sins.
He also admonished them to allow the exemplary conduct they exhibited while in the holy land to reflect in their dealings with others in every human endeavour when they return to Nigeria so that people can find them worthy of emulation. He appealed to the pilgrims yet to be airlifted to exercise patience as necessary plans have been put in place to ensure that everyone is airlifted back to Nigeria within the shortest period of time.
While reiterating his advice that the pilgrims should maintain the 32kg allowed for their main luggage, the Amir warned them to desist from carrying water and any other liquid items in their luggage.All rights reserved.
