"Dream - The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has started maintenance work on the Kaaba building located in the Masjid al-Haram since Saturday, December 9, 2023. Therefore, for the time being, pilgrims cannot touch it as the area from the Kaaba to Hijr Ismail is covered with a fence."
"The periodic maintenance of Kabah is under the supervision of the Project Management Department of the Ministry of Finance and coordinates with other related government agencies. Furthermore, this temporary maintenance is a continuation of the efforts and directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and is directly followed up by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman."
"This is a continuation of the efforts of the Guardians of the Two Holy Mosques under the administration of King Salman, who always preserves, honors, and maintains all elements of the Kaaba to keep them in their best condition."
"quoted from Saudi Gazette, Wednesday, December 13, 2023."
The translation of "Dream.co.id." from 'Bahasa' to 'English' is "Dream.co.id." The text remains the same as it is a proper noun (a website name) and does not require translation.
The text translates to: "The Project Management Office of the Ministry of Finance is responsible for overseeing the progress of the work by involving dedicated professional groups and experts to manage the expansion project of the Two Holy Mosques."
The project also includes a massive expansion of Masjidil Haram, an increase in the capacity of Mataf, as well as the third expansion of Masjid Nabawi located in Madinah, the courtyard, and related components.
Since its establishment in 1438 H, the Project Management Department has been actively overseeing the expansion projects of Masjidil Haram in Makkah and Masjid Nabawi in Madinah on behalf of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Previously, it has also supervised the periodic maintenance work of the elements of the Ka'bah carried out in the month of Syawal 1440 H and Dzulhijjah 1442 H.
"Cannot Be Touched for a While"
As a result of the regular maintenance, the congregation is unable to touch the Kaaba and see or kiss the Black Stone. However, the congregation can still perform the tawaf (circumambulation around the Kaaba) and other worship activities including prayer or supplication in the outer area surrounding the Kaaba.
Although many pilgrims are asking when the Kaaba will be opened and can be touched again, the authorities have not yet provided a specific time and date for the completion of the periodic maintenance.
