    Wow, looking at coming years, it might not be safe until 2034/2035?

    But of course, by then, with rising temperatures even those dates might not be safe.

      I think no matter what, the deaths will keep rising. And without a central authority in Islam, there is no one to tell pilgrims to stop doing it for their own sake.

        I mean, it’s not like there’s no infrastructure there.

        They could, probably easily provide everyone with adequate hydration and maybe put up some shade cover to mitigate the worst.

        Dying during Hajj has always been a risk historically. Imagine you’d make the way from Afghanistan or Gambia to Mekka in the time before cars and planes. People were on the road for years, and the roads back then were a very different story.

        Also for nowadays it needs to be kept in mind, that people often safe up a very long time, to afford doing Hajj. So by the time they saved enough money for it, they are quite old, which increases the risk of dying from heat.
