How might the use of the Eatmarna app influence the perceived sanctity of holy sites for Umrah pilgrims?
>“The Saudi government has made significant changes to the Eatmarna app used by Umrah pilgrims, allowing visitors to now obtain permits for prayer at Masjid al-Haram, Riyaz al-Jannah, and even visiting the shrine of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This seems to be a positive step towards making the pilgrimage more accessible and organized, especially given the ongoing pandemic.”
> “But, some might argue that digitizing such sacred experiences further’ detaches’ us from the spirituality of the journey.
> What are your thoughts on this balance between utilizing technology and preserving the sanctity of these holy sites?”
