i think they helping a lot the hujaj. who wants to walk, plus while you are in your living room, you see the ka'abah and just open your curtains to and pray toward kabah. when i go umrah in last 10 days ramadan. i dont have to go to haram, i am still in the area and do all my salats jama'ah without living my living room. that is ni'amatul Allah.

it's good when you're wealth enough to offard to do khairat and money makes for you easy! Alhamdullilah.

This is hardly new. There were always nice buildings facing towards the ka'abaa exclusively reserved for the Rich. People like us who couldn't afford that luxury, brought their salai and prayed on the floor outside the haram.

They should have built all the buildings and hotels far away from the Kaba and made subways connecting the Hotels/Buildings to the Kaba. The nearby hotels and buildings are making the place look very crowded and not smart as the number of visitors are increasing.

Vast majority of hujajj cannot afford this. They shouldn't be catering to a tiny rich minority and transforming the place into another bland Dubai. Shouldn't there concern be making the Hajj easier for the majority who aren't well off? I don't see how building skyscrapers and hotels most Muslims can't afford will help this. This defeats the whole purpose of everyone being equal from clothes to appearance when making hajj. The irony is both sad and obvious.

i understand you point but wealth people also need accomdations and believe me, it's hardly you find rental easily. many people want pay 2000 us a nigh but not avaliable. cause people prefer to buy it so they can come any time they want.

koleytaba aniga khair badan bo e sahliyeyey. i wouldnt go every now and then with my H2 car. is easy for me to fill my tank and just go any time!

any ways, obviously many wealth people found it really convinenve. poor people, ajer ba Allah ka seenaya, walking more! so no one loosing it.

life isnt fair but Allah is. so there is things as human thing isnt fair but in Allah's plan. wasnt the aayah " we test you khair and shar" so the wealth also is ibtila'a.
