A visitor to the Masjid al-Haraam documented a video clip showing a flock of pigeons circling around the Kaaba in a non-circular way, as pilgrims circumambulate around the Kaaba.
Amazing Sight of birds doing “Tawaaf of Kaaba”. Tawaf (going around in circle) is an Islamic ritual performed by Muslims during Hajj and Umrah Due to Coronavirus scare the inner space around Kaaba was barred for any rituals for cleaning purposes for few days.
Islam’s holiest site, Kaaba had been closed as a precautionary measure to control the spread of coronavirus. Perhaps it’s the first time we are seeing Kaaba devoid of worshippers.
The Kaaba’s main mataf area is open but very high restriction in terms of the number of people allowed at one time and distance from the center.
