The Ministry of National Guard in Saudi Arabia has announced the initial acceptance results for military and administrative positions planned for the Hijri year 1446. This announcement comes as part of the ministry's efforts to enhance its security and logistical systems through the recruitment of qualified national personnel. The results were made public after completing the screening and matching process of applicants' applications according to the criteria established by the recruitment agency.
The initial results announcement is a critical step in the hiring process, notifying candidates who have been accepted to prepare for subsequent stages. These stages include the final matching of documents, medical examinations, physical fitness tests, and personal interviews. Candidates will receive specific instructions via the official portal or through text messages regarding the timeline for completing these procedures.
To ensure that applicants can quickly access their results, the Ministry has provided clear steps for inquiry. Upon visiting the main page of the portal, users will see options related to electronic services. They must click on the option labeled 'Results of Acceptance' or its equivalent. After navigating to the results page, applicants are required to enter their personal data, which typically includes their national ID number, Hijri date of birth, and the verification code displayed on the screen. By clicking the 'Inquire' button, the system will analyze the applicant's data and present the result immediately.
For those candidates who have been initially accepted, the Ministry emphasizes the importance of adhering to several critical guidelines. These include attending scheduled appointments without delay and bringing all required original documents, as well as certified copies. Furthermore, candidates must comply with official attire and security protocols within the Ministry of National Guard facilities. Medical examinations must be conducted only at designated locations, as this examination is a crucial component of the final acceptance process. Candidates are also urged to demonstrate seriousness and discipline during the interviews and physical tests, as these factors play a significant role in determining their professional suitability.
In a separate development, the Saudi authorities are implementing new regulations regarding the Hajj pilgrimage for the year 1446. Starting from Tuesday, April 29, 2025, it will be prohibited for individuals to enter Mecca without a valid Hajj permit. This decision aims to ensure the safety and organization of the Hajj season, allowing pilgrims to perform their rituals comfortably and securely.
The General Authority for Senior Scholars has clarified that individuals who do not obtain a Hajj permit are considered unable to perform the pilgrimage. This statement, issued in Riyadh on April 26, 2024, emphasizes that obtaining a permit is essential for facilitating worship and alleviating hardships for pilgrims. Additionally, the authority noted that regulating the number of pilgrims is crucial for enabling large groups to perform the rituals safely and peacefully.
As part of these regulations, individuals attempting to perform Hajj without a permit will face a fine of 10,000 riyals, with penalties doubling for repeat offenses. The conditions for issuing permits include receiving the required vaccinations. The authorities stress that compliance with these rules is vital for maintaining order and safety during the pilgrimage.
The statement from the General Authority for Senior Scholars highlights that performing Hajj without a permit is an act of disobedience and contrary to the public interest. All pilgrims are urged to fear Allah during their rituals and to ensure their Hajj is free from indecency and wrongdoing. The statement underscores that adhering to the regulations not only facilitates a smooth pilgrimage experience but also aligns with the spiritual objectives of the Hajj.
To obtain a Hajj permit, individuals must complete their vaccinations and can expect applications to open at the beginning of Dhu al-Qi'dah, as is customary each year. It is important to note that the last date to receive vaccinations is ten days before the start of the Hajj season. For more information on required vaccinations and updates, individuals can visit the relevant links provided by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.
To apply for a Hajj permit, applicants can access the Absher platform, select 'Service Guide,' choose 'Sector,' then 'All,' and finally 'Print Hajj Permit by Pilgrim.' It is worth noting that service availability on the Absher platform may vary due to organizational reasons, as experienced by some users. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has indicated that all transactions for domestic pilgrims will be processed through the electronic pathway or the Nusuk application.
Additionally, it is possible to print the Hajj permit through the Nusuk application after the latest updates via the 'Print Domestic Pilgrims Permit' service. Alternatively, applicants can issue a Hajj permit through the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah's website by selecting the 'Electronic Services' tab and following the steps outlined for 'Booking and Issuing Hajj Permits for Citizens and Residents.'
It is important to note that the Hajj permit is a free document for all pilgrims, who will only need to pay for their Hajj package. Furthermore, the service allows Saudi citizens and residents to inquire about their eligibility for a Hajj permit by visiting the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah's website.
These recent developments regarding the Ministry of National Guard and the Hajj regulations reflect ongoing efforts by Saudi authorities to enhance security and ensure the well-being of individuals participating in significant national events.
