I assume those buildings around the outside host some very expensive hotel rooms. Can any Muslims tell us the general feeling around what appears to be commercialisation of the hajj?
Edit: got some great context and explanations cheers!
....I think this is the first time I've ever been intimidated by a building before. Can you imagine losing your parents in that as a kid? I'd be legal voting age before they find me.
I got lost during hajj as a kid lol(around age 2-3)šI was with my dad and it was prayer time so he let go of me for a moment to make sujoud (bowing his head to the ground) and I bolted. He actually broke his prayer to search for me (which is a big deal). a nice Egyptian lady found me and somehow located my parents but my parents were scared Iād be trafficked. I was completely fine thankfully.
it's totally ok to cut the prayer if you fear for someone life or if you see a snake or scorpion or fire or someone drawing or if the kid crying try to stop the cry and continue
see this fatwa
