The Necessity to Establish “Harum” around the Scared Mash’ars

Abstract EN

Since the number of pilgrims has been increased, the capacity of the pilgrimage rite becomes more crowded which affects the rites of the Scared House, the pilgrims themselves and the significance behind per- forming such rite as well.

The researcher could estimate the available space for one pilgrim through calculating the entire area for the upcoming thirty years based on identifying the space for each mash’ar and the pilgrims’ number as well, and through observing the increasing number of the population in the Is- lamic world and their annual increase, in addition to observing those who come to perform the pilgrimage according to a specific proportion estimat- ed by one-thousand, and it was clear that this area u'hich is designed for each pilgrim has been decreasing from a year to another, the matter which affects the mash’ars negatively.

In order to alleviate the impact of the crowding, the study proposed an idea of establishing a Hareem around each mash’ar provided that these Ha- reems shall be devoted to the Scared House so as there will be an available space for a pilgrims to perform the ceremonies of the pilgrimage on time and to make the pilgrim completely devoted to such ritual, and all services shall be transformed to these Hareems.
