The right to health of the pilgrims in the Islamic perspective and international documents

Hajj, as one of the significant religious-political practices, is of special importance in Islam. The pilgrims’ health right is considered as an important and effective factor in performing the rituals of Hajj. Therefore, explaining the nature of the tools to ensure the pilgrims’ health right in Islam and the system of human rights, this descriptive-analytical study examines the human rights-supportive mechanisms regarding the health right in Hajj rituals.The study aims to analyze the tools of guaranteeing the health right in the two different systems. Studies show that, despite the priority of the Islamic rules and regulations and the existence of international conventions and legal protections, the legal protections of the host state (Saudi Arabia) suffer from shortcomings and deficiencies. However, to guarantee the pilgrims’ health right and remove the obstacles and challenges, it is necessary to rethink the dynamic Shi’ism, religious ijtihad, and sympathy and integration of Muslim states especially Saudi Arabia.
