The Religious Affairs Committee said that Saudi law enforcement agencies have also begun to take punitive measures against those who perform the Hajj illegally. In particular, performing the Hajj rituals illegally will result in financial penalties ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 Saudi riyals (up to 27,000 US dollars). In addition to deportation from Saudi Arabia, the citizen will also be banned from entering the kingdom for the next 10 years.
