Iran and several other countries have criticised Saudi authorities for the way they handled safety issues.
Authorities have raised the number of deaths to 769 - the deadliest incident tooccur during the Hajj in 25 years.
King Salman has ordered a safety review into the disaster, which injured 934 people, new casualty figures suggest. The pilgrimage, or Hajj, is now into its final day, with no further serious incidents reported.
"As for the things that humans cannot control, you are not blamed for them. Fate and destiny are inevitable."
The cleric's remarks came after Iran's Supreme National Security Council accused the Saudis of "incompetence" and urged them to "take responsibility"for the deaths.
