MINA — Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman covered the cost of sacrificial animals for 4,951 people from 92 countries who performed the Hajj under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Guests Program for Hajj and Umrah, implemented by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Call and Guidance.

The gesture is yet another proof of the King's generosity and bountiful giving, said Minister of Islamic Affairs Dr. Abdullatif Al Al-Sheikh.

Dr. Al Al-Sheikh, who is also the general supervisor of the program, said the continuous generosity shown by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques attests to his care for his Muslim brothers and his keenness to cover all their needs and help them perform Hajj. — SPA
