How many muslims will die in a stampede during haj?

Question

Last year it was over 300. Please don't be ignorant and ask "what's a haj?" if you don't know, google it and then answer the question

Answer 1

The Saudis fixed the bridge to accomadate over 250,000 people per day. I doubt this will help since anytime a bunch of Muslims gather in one place, bloodshed and death usually follow.

Answer 2

Only Allah knows. But just to clarify things, as the dictionary says, 'stampede' means: when many large animals or many people suddenly all move quickly and in an uncontrolled way.

So it is the way people act that causes accidents, not the action itself. It is because large numbers (millions) suddenly move all into one direction in an uncontrolled, disorganised way.

This needs effort from Saudi Arabia to organise the process and commitmment from people to follow instructions. Have you tried organising millions of people all heading at the same direction at the same time?

Answer 3

442

Answer 4

Statistically 200 to 800.
The ministry of religion, in charge of the huge logistic challenge of the Hajj is doing his best to reduce the risk but it is quite difficult.

Answer 5

This practice must stop before more people die. Living in the 7th century is not good for children and other living things.

Answer 6

Hopefully no one that doesn't want to die. May Allah protect the innocent.

Answer 7

400, assuming other muslims do not blow the place up.

Answer 8

only God knows

Answer 9

funny point not enough
