Metaverse, pilgrimage, worship: what do theologians say?

Some experts have given their comments on this subject. First of all, Remzi Bircan, General Manager of the Directorate of Religious Affairs, Hajj and Umrah Services, underlined that there is no such thing as a “Metaverse pilgrimage”. Saying that they did not receive a notification from the Ministry of Hajj of Saudi Arabia that such a worship could be accepted, he said “it is possible to travel with the metaverse”, but worship is out of question.

He points out that this has no legal validity. 29 Mayıs University Faculty of Theology Inst. Its member Hatice Boynukalın also stated that virtual pilgrimage is out of the question. However, he stated that it is an important opportunity for those who do not have the means to visit the holy lands. Assoc.
