Driving to Makkah and Medina......Need details
Assalamalaikum Brothers and Sisters,
InshAllah, I am planning to take my family for Umrah by road, next month. I need few information regarding the trip.
1. I am driving in my car, but the car is under bank loan, what are the requirements to take the car under bank loan? Do i need a NOC letter from the bank etc?
2. How much time does it take if driving from Doha to Makkah?
3. What are the requirements at the immigration at Qatar and Saudi Arabian border and what extra documents are required apart from the passport and the visa?
4. I am so far planning to leave before Fajr and have Fajr prayers at the border. If i drive non stop how much time will it take to reach Makkah and to drive from Makkah to Medina is there any extra requirement to travel to Medina?
I will appreciate if someone can provide me with accurate information.
JazakAllah Khair
May Allah`s Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon you and ur family..
Drive safe.. it's always better if u stop and drive...coz it's a long journey and don't risk ur's and ur family's life..u need to tak rest and have proper food..so stop near any motels u find on the highways,,,,have ur food and tak rest for few hours..
Pray for all the Muslim brothers and sisters.
"The believers are but a single brotherhood." (Holly Qur'an; 49:10) They should remain in mutual love. What a Muslim wisher for himself should be wished for his brother as well"
