IKHLAS cannot accept liability for any loss or damage   to your passport whilst it is in the possession of the MoHU. You accept   that failure to provide your passport to the authorities when requested to   do so will mean that you will not be allowed to board onto the buses to   continue on your journey. IKHLAS will not accept any liability in these   circumstances and no refunds or payment of any kind shall be given.

Therefore, your itinerary is   subject to change at all times and you confirm that IKHLAS cannot accept   any liability in these circumstances. Furthermore, due to the nature of Hajj   pilgrimage, your itinerary is on a very tight schedule. You must ensure that   you are at all departure points at the times specified in order to commence   the next stage of the pilgrimage. Failure to be present at the departure points at the times specified means that the group may leave without you   and IKHLAS cannot accept any liability for this.
