Beware of Joki Hajar Aswad, Ending Up Asking for Money with Fantastic Value to Pilgrims

"Be cautious of Joki Hajar Aswad, Ended up asking for money with fantastic value from the pilgrims."

Dream - Although not obligatory, many Muslims want to kiss the Black Stone when performing the Umrah or Hajj pilgrimage. The black stone is very fragrant in one corner of the Kaaba and is often sought after by pilgrims. However, the crowdedness of the pilgrims makes it impossible for all Muslims in front of the Kaaba to have the opportunity to kiss the Black Stone. The difficulty of kissing this heavenly-scented stone is apparently exploited by irresponsible parties.

"The Director of the Hajj Development Directorate General of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Arsad Hidayat, reminds Indonesian Hajj and Umrah pilgrims to always be cautious if there are parties offering assistance to reach the Hajar Aswad."

After the pilgrims successfully kissed the Black Stone, the jockey will ask for compensation in the form of money. This is where the Hajj pilgrims are squeezed to be asked for replacement fees. Not to mention the amount of money requested is not small.

"Then after that, they were taken to the edge and asked for money. They were given 100 rials but didn't want 500 rials, not even 1,500 rials, even though if converted to Indonesian Rupiah, it would already reach IDR 6 million."
