Social media circulated a picture of the Egyptian child, Yahya Mohamed Ramadan, who passed away in Mecca. The news of his death was received with great sadness by the residents of Kafr El-Sheikh, as he was accompanying his parents during their Hajj pilgrimage in the sacred lands, according to Egyptian media reports.
The child, from Kafr El-Sheikh, gained significant attention on Facebook in recent days after his mother posted a photo of him in Ihram clothing at the Kaaba, identifying him as the youngest Egyptian pilgrim. His image was widely shared by social media users, but soon after, the child passed away.
His family announced the news of his death at the Grand Mosque while his parents were performing Hajj rituals. He fell from one of the roofs and died immediately, before a funeral prayer was held for him at the Grand Mosque, where he was buried.
The death came just hours after his mother posted pictures of him in Ihram on her social media page, prompting a flood of comments from followers, praying for God's comfort for his parents and for them to be granted patience and solace.
