May Allah grant the honour of visiting Makkah Mukkarama & Madinah Munnawarra, to who ever truly wants too.

How about poor people residing in Qatar whose only mean to perform umrah was through Bus ride to Makkah and Madina via Land route. May Allah curse be upon them who close their borders for pilgrims .
