 Grand Ayatollah Ja'far Sobhani stated on Wednesday (6th January 2010) that so long as the Saudi government has not vowed commitment to treat Shia pilgrims prestigiously, performing the Umrah pilgrimage is unnecessary.The leading Shia scholar made the comment in a meeting with his guests, the Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister and his deputies at his house, adding: "Presently, performing the Umrah rituals for our people is quite humiliating and tolerating humiliation is Haram (religiously forbidden) for the Muslims." He reiterated, "The enemies penetrate through any gate, or door to demolish the beliefs of Shi'a. Therefore, performing an Umrah at the cost of humiliation of the Shi'a Muslims is totally unnecessary." Ayatollah Sobhani added, "Based on international norms, when a guest arrives in a country the host government is obliged to safeguard his life and his belongings, while the conduct of the Saudis in dealing with the Shi'a Muslims is totally illogical based on any norm, or logic." Pointing out that the Saudis vow covenants today and forget their promises tomorrow, he added, "So long as respecting the prestige of the pilgrims is not guaranteed the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization should not issue permits for performing Umrah pilgrimage, till making sure that the Saudis are really and truly committed to their responsibilities for sure."
