Staff Reporter:
The Ministry of Religious Affairs has warned that administrative action may be taken against 124 Hajj agencies that do not have any pre-registered or primarily registered Hajj pilgrims for next year’s Hajj activities.
In a recent communication, the ministry issued letters to these 124 Hajj agencies regarding the issue.
The notice referred to the official list of 891 Hajj agencies published for the 2025 Hajj season. As per condition 1(j) outlined in the list, any agency failing to register Hajj pilgrims without a valid reason may be subject to disciplinary action.
The letter noted that the primary registration for Hajj 2025 began on September 1.
However, among the approved Hajj agencies, 124 do not have any pre-registered or primarily registered Hajj pilgrims. In this situation, these 124 agencies have been requested to complete the pre-registration or primary registration of Hajj pilgrims immediately.
Preliminary registration for Hajj 2025 will remain open until November 30, with the official Hajj pack-ages set to be announced on October 30.
