An Islamic cleric, Sheikh Habeebullah Adam El-Ilory says the view that “anybody who uses a satellite dish and hangs it on the roof of his house and dies will not enter paradise because he/she committed haram” can no longer be tenable.

He said it is a position held by some conservative scholars, but he is worried by the validity of such views and the mindset behind it.

Sheikh El-Ilory is a prominent Islamic scholar and the Director of Markaz Centre for Arabic and Islamic Studies in Agege, Lagos State.

He made his criticism while delivering a sermon and courageously challenged such long-held religious beliefs that people who use satellite dishes risk going to hell.

Sheikh El-Ilory also challenged the traditional view on female participation in public life, which they considered as haram (forbidden).

He said these traditional views on satellite dishes and women’s roles in society no longer reflect the realities of modern Islamic societies.

Sheikh El-Ilory therefore, called for a more progressive and informed interpretation of Islamic teachings.

He stated categorically that those who think using satellite dishes could prevent Muslims from entering paradise lacked proper understanding.

Sheikh Ilory said, “When I said it earlier in 2010 that women can be involved in politics, people criticised me.

“Not long after my statements in 2010, Saudi Arabia allowed women to vote and participate in politics.

“Presently they’re training women in the military in Saudi Arabia and they now wear trousers.

“One Alfa who criticised this evolvement was quoting a part of the scripture I believe he has no understanding of,” he said.

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) is set to launch its recruitment portal for ad-hoc medical professionals to serve on the 2025 Hajj medical team.The application portal will be opened on 8th March 2025 from 12.00 midnight and will be closed on 14th March 2025 by 11.59pm marking the beginning of a competitive selection process that will ultimately determine who provides healthcare services to tens of thousands of Nigerian pilgrims in Saudi Arabia.

The 2025 National Medical Team Operation will be based on volunteerism in line with the International Standard as agreed by the NAHCON Management and application is free.

Selection criteria emphasize not only medical expertise but also the ability to function effectively in high-pressure environments. The chosen professionals will undergo specialized training in managing health issues common during Hajj, including heat-related illnesses, respiratory infections, and complications from pre-existing conditions.

The medical team operates from temporary clinics established in pilgrim accommodations and field hospitals near ritual sites. Their responsibilities extend beyond conventional healthcare to include preventive medicine, health education, and coordination with Saudi health authorities throughout the pilgrimage season.

The application process occurs against the backdrop of evolving health protocols in Saudi Arabia, where authorities continue to implement measures developed during pandemic-era restrictions. While pilgrim quotas have returned to pre-pandemic levels, health screening and monitoring remain priorities for participating countries.

Nigeria typically sends one of the largest contingents to the annual pilgrimage, with numbers expected to exceed 50,000 pilgrims this year. The medical team’s work encompasses the complete pilgrimage cycle, from pre-departure screenings in Nigeria through the intense days of ritual in Makkah, Arafat and Madinah, and continues until all pilgrims have returned home.

The 2025 Hajj medical mission represents the continuation of Nigeria’s decades-long tradition of providing healthcare support to its citizens during one of Islam’s most significant religious obligations.
