2. Prohibited Items in Cabin Bags

Cabin bags are a significant focus for passengers, especially since there are several items that are strictly prohibited from being brought onto the plane. Items such as knives, scissors, and other hazardous materials like firearms and explosives must be left behind for flight safety. For pilgrims, there are additional rules prohibiting the carrying of animal products such as cheese and fresh milk, which could cause problems during travel. Furthermore, liquids exceeding 100 milliliters and power banks with certain capacities are also banned, all to ensure safety and comfort in the air.

3. Activities During the Flight

During the flight, there are several things that pilgrims need to pay attention to in order to maintain order and safety. Pilgrims are expected to follow the instructions from the cabin crew, wear seat belts, and maintain calm during the journey. It is advisable to avoid walking back and forth or making noise inside the airplane.

In addition, pilgrims are also encouraged to increase their remembrance (dhikr) and prayers as a form of worship during the journey. Prayers can also be performed in a combined-shortened manner (jamak-qasar), which makes it easier for pilgrims to worship even while traveling.

The airplane has several prohibitions that must be adhered to by every passenger, including pilgrims. For example, smoking on the plane is strictly prohibited to maintain comfort for everyone. Additionally, using mobile phones or engaging in activities that may disturb the flight should also be avoided.

Pilgrims are also asked not to perform ablution (wudu) in the airplane's restroom. It is better to wait until the plane reaches cruising altitude and stabilizes to avoid the risk of turbulence that could be dangerous.

After identifying prohibited items, the baggage check procedure at the hajj dormitory must be carried out carefully. Items that violate the rules can hinder the journey and even endanger the safety of the pilgrims. Therefore, it is important for each pilgrim to conduct a final check before departing for the Holy Land.
