This action is evidence of the seriousness of Saudi Arabia in limiting pilgrims without a hajj visa during the peak of the hajj. "Saudi Arabia will seriously eradicate unauthorized hajj," said Yusron.

According to him, there are still many influencers who sell Hajj packages like this. However, Saudi Arabia has been monitoring and recording on social media platforms such as TikTok accounts that sell Hajj packages without queues, both for those living in Saudi Arabia and in Indonesia. "Our action is more towards the victims. After the Hajj pilgrimage is completed, we will investigate who the victims are and who the perpetrators are," Yusron explained.
