In an interview with the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), Dahdouh expressed that this was his second time performing the Hajj.
"This gave me additional happiness, that I am fulfilling my promise to her because I was not able to have her with me last year."
He continued, "This is the most important human gathering, the largest number gathered in one place and one time."
