I feel the Saudis "bend over backwards" at time of hajj so they can make the ummah realise that they are the custodians of the two masjids, even though they bought blood to the 2 masajids!
<b>Asslam-o-Aliakum</b>
Here is my proposal, which was published in a Muslim magazine a long time ago.
The Suadi and the native country make sure that a person who has performed Hajj once - he should not be issued a visa to enter Saudi Arabi during Hajj period. He can visit for Umrah later on, if he wishes - or he may pay expenses for a poor person to perform Hajj - and I am sure he would still get the Hajj reward.
The results of a survey taken by MSA in 1980s that 67% of the people performing Hajj had already done it once, twice, or three times. I personally know three persons who have performed Hajj more than six times.
My proposed restriction would not only lessen the burden on the Hujaj, but the Saudi government can also improve their services.
NO, Saudi Royals are not <b>Custodians of the two sacred places</b>. They took this title on the advice of their British sponsors to fool the Muslim Ummah.
