SRINAGAR — A 70-year-old woman from south Kashmir’s Shopian district passed away in the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
According the family sources, Haleema Begum, a resident of Kaprin Shopian, was alongside her sister at Mecca to perform Umrah (‘minor pilgrimage’) — undertaken by Muslims to enter Mecca.
The funeral prayers of the deceased woman, the family said, were led by Imam-e-Kabbah, following which her mortal remains were buried in the holy city only.
