Hajj is the fifth basic pillar of Islam. It is recommended to perform at least once in a life. But due to financial issues some of the Muslims cannot afford Hajj, it is not obligatory for those Muslims. The whole journey of Hajj is hard and also expensive. This is different worship from all other worships in Islam because it cleans your all past sins and makes you like a new born baby. In every country, Hajj Umrah travel agency is responsible to take Muslims for pilgrimage.
Packages for Hajj:
Muslims from all over the parts of world perform Hajj by booking from different travel agencies. These agencies have made the packages of different kinds and they vary in prices. Most of the Muslims from UK look for the cheap Hajj packages.
Fraudster agencies:
In this world sins and virtues go together. There are good travel agencies that take care of their customers and offer them what they have. But on the other hand there are some agencies that fraudulently deal with the customers and show them what they cannot offer. Some people book through those companies which do not care about their customers. These companies are at fraud.
A person faces fraud because he trusts others and does not know about those agencies. A person looks cheaper packages with good accommodations and pays for that without thinking and searching. When the time comes for departure, he comes to know that the company was at fraud and he does not have any proof for his travel.
Sometimes, people book from fraudster agencies and reach Saudi Arabia for Hajj. When they look for the hotel they booked for themselves, they could not find it. It was the fraud for what they paid. This fraud happens when someone asks you to pay direct money or asks to pay money in the individual’s account. They show what they do not offer. It is their fault.
A person should be careful while booking for Hajj. Some Muslims of UK face fraud. Due to this fraud they lose their money and also cannot go for Hajj or cannot get the things for what they pay.
