Hojat-ol-Islam Seyyed Ali Ghazi-Askar told IQNA that the five volumes will soon be published.
He added that compiling the encyclopedia was part of the extensive research programs conducted by the Hajj and Pilgrimage Research Center affiliated to the Representative Office of the Supreme Leader in Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs.
Hojat-ol-Islam Ghazi-Askar said some of the research studies are aimed at providing answers to questions and doubts about Hajj and pilgrimage.
According to the official, the center has so far published 900 works with the theme of Hajj and pilgrimage.
He also noted that the office is working to develop online education about Hajj and pilgrimage through its website.
Supreme Leader’s Representative in Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs went on to say that an encyclopedia of the Haramayn Al-Sharifayn (the two holy sites in Makkah and Median) is also being compiled by the center.
