Popular Pakistani influencers Yasir Shami and Irfan Junejo have been spotted embarking on the sacred journey of Hajj during the blessed month of Zilhaj.

They were specially invited by the Saudi Arabian government as royal guests, which has sparked significant protest on social media.

Yasir Shami and Irfan Junejo have been frequently sharing glimpses of their blissful journey on Instagram. Their posts feature them performing religious rituals with great fervor, dressed in white Ihraams, the special attire worn by Muslim men during Hajj and Umrah.

The duo shared the surprising news of their royal invitations on their social media handles, raising many eyebrows among fans questioning their contributions to the country.

Irfan Junejo expressed his gratitude in a caption alongside his Hajj moments, stating: “Delighted to share with you all that I have been invited by the Saudi Government and Ministry of Media KSA for Hajj this year as a royal guest. I landed in Jeddah on 2nd Dhul Hijjah, visited the museum on top of the clocktower and the Hajj Media Hub after that. Could never have imagined how seamlessly health, media, transport, and many different ministries and departments come together to manage and document the days of Hajj. Extremely grateful for the opportunity Alhamdullilah. Keep me in your duas, please!

Yasir Shami also revealed the Saudi government’s invitation through a detailed caption in Urdu, which translates to: “They come who are called. The Saudi government has invited 1,100 influencers from all over the world to be royal guests for Hajj this year. Two people from Pakistan, including myself, have been invited. With humility, I question how a sinful man like me can go to the court of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
