The delay comes amid a fragile security situation in Tripoli following recent clashes, leaving many vendors and buyers uncertain and impacting preparations for one of the most important Muslim holidays. According to official figures released by Saudi authorities, more than 1.47 million Muslims have arrived in Saudi Arabia for the Hajj pilgrimage. The total number is expected to increase with local pilgrims to reach two million. Last year, over 1.8 million Muslim pilgrims from 200 countries around the world performed the ritual. The Hajj pilgrimage is the fifth pillar of the Islamic faith – a ritual that must be performed by all Muslims, if financially viable, at least once in their lives. The ritual includes several rituals meant to symbolize the essential concepts of the Islamic faith and to commemorate the trials of the Prophet Abraham and his family.
