How much money does Saudi arabia earn from hajj business...?
I heard net profit at about 50 million dollars each year. Mostly through travel agencies and local businesses. Are the Saudi "kings" making this sacred ritual...a booming profitable business for saudi economy? Hajj cost is ridiculously rising day by day. Each and every muslim around the world should think...am i spending my own hard earned money to fullfill my responsibility towards Allâh or to fully fill the pocket and for the lavish lifestyle of saudi people(specially the "royal" family)? Hajj pilgrimage is one of the five pillars of Islam. And of course it will cost money. But this hajj money certainly in no way should provide a saudi an extravagant lifestyle. Every year many hajis die because of stampede or fire or flood or any other disaster or accident. I think the money should only be spend for: ....only in construction and maintenance of religious site and structures, maintenance and safety of the hajj pilgrims. I think there should be a separation of religious tourism economy from the mainstream saudi economy. What do you think?

And how do U know that there is no separation of religious tourism economy from the mainstream Saudi economy? The money they earn from the pilgrims is going towards the maintenance of the holy Kaaba and the pemises of the grand masjid. The lavish lifestyle of the royal family does not need this money. They get it from their oil wells.

This was a place of business during messenger Muhammad's time. The jews sold it as a holy pilgrimage to the temple of Abraham. Sound Familiar

I think Hajj is pretty expensive, but I don't think the "royal" family gets their money from Hajj, they get it from oil. Also, they are making a lot of improvements; however, accidents do occur with so many people at one place at the same time.
