Cairo, 15 May-(ANA)-The Muslim religious authorities in Egypt have suggested delaying the annual pilgrimage to Mecca because of the spread of swine flu.
Egypt's Grand Mufti, Sheikh Ali Jumua, has called for a religious edict to decide how long the pilgrimage rites of the Hajj could be postponed.
At least two million people took part in the last Hajj, which falls this year in November.
More than 7,500 cases of swine flu have been reported worldwide. (ANA)
