President John Dramani Mahama has directed the task force organising this year's Hajj to channel any extra money that would be realised from the pilgrimage into charity.
At a sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of a permanent Hajj Village in Accra on Friday, President Mahama said the Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, was a spiritual journey of purification and not a profit-making enterprise. "I have instructed the task force that Hajj is not a business.
Hajj is not meant for profit.
The Hajj Task Force must not structure things in order to make profit.
