Pilgrims Wednesday performed Tawaf Al-Ifadah at the Grand Mosque after standing at Arafat, spending the night in Muzdalifah and performing the stoning of Jamrat Al-Aqaba, SPA reported.

This was facilitated through a comprehensive system of organizational, health, and security services provided by the relevant authorities to ensure the smooth movement and safety of pilgrims throughout their rituals.

The Grand Mosque witnessed a large influx of pilgrims performing Tawaf Al-Ifadah under the direct supervision of the relevant sectors, which mobilized their human and technological resources to serve worshippers and facilitate their movement with ease and efficiency.

Pilgrims will continue performing their rituals in Mina during the Days of Tashreeq, where they will stone the three Jamarat. They will then conclude their Hajj with the Farewell Tawaf before departing Makkah.

Türkiye's parliament ratified a regional defense pact involving Saudi Arabia and Pakistan overnight, state media reported.

The three countries signed the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement in August, committing them to come to one another's aid if any member is attacked.

Lawmakers approved the measure by 279 votes to 119, according to the state-run Anadolu news agency.

During parliamentary debates, ruling AKP lawmaker Ziya Altunyaldiz said the agreement was not directed against any third country and was intended to prevent conflicts rather than escalate them, Anadolu reported.
