Hundreds of people have died during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia as the faithful faced intense high temperatures at Islamic holy sites in the desert kingdom.

    I doubt it’s required by state law for them to go to Mecca on pilgrimage in any Muslim country. How could they even prove you really did it? At most they could inspect your passport to see if you went to Saudi Arabia.

      What I said was “basically required by law to be Muslim”, not required by state law to do the Hajj

        Okay, but this is about going on the Hajj and their nation’s laws cant require them to do that.
