Musah Sidi, 53, a Ghanaian pilgrim to Mecca, has died while performing the Tawaf at the Haram Mosque, according to the Pilgrims Affairs Office of Ghana (PAOG).
The deceased completed one cycle of the Kaaba before falling down, completing the Hajj’s most important ritual, the Tawaf.
If you want to say “the deceased has been dead for a long time,” then “the deceased will be buried after the Janaza prayer that follows Jum’ah (Friday prayers). The family of the deceased has been notified of their loss.”
It was also added that Islamic teachings state that “a pilgrim who dies in Ihram while in a state of worship is given a great amount of merit in the hereafter.”
The PAOG prayed that Allah would forgive the deceased for his sins and grant him to reside in Jannatul Firdaus. In addition, the PAOG wanted to express sympathy to the family, friends and relatives of the deceased.
