A video of a man carrying an elderly woman on his shoulders as he walked around the Kaaba has gone viral.

The video was shared on Twitter.

A comment on Twitter explained that the man "spotted the elderly woman struggling to make the walk around the Kaaba.

She was refusing to use a wheel chair because then she wouldn't be able to see the holy site and this is why he decided to carry her throughout the tawaf."
