What is Haj?

Haj, an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is the fifth pillar of Islam. Muslims (who are physically and financially strong) perform Haj between the eighth and 13th days of Dhul-Hijjah month (the 12th month of the Islamic calendar year).Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah on Thursday announced the opening of registrations for the Hajj 2023 season for Muslims in the Kingdom.

The ministry said there will be four categories of packages available for pilgrims. The economic package starts at SR3,984 riyals (Dh3,892), and pilgrims can choose to make the total payment in one go or opt for three installments, according to a statement by Saudi Press Agency.

Saudi government distributes pilgrims’ quota based on the population of Muslims in the respective countries. Saudi Aarabia is however not yet declared the Hajj quota for the year 2023 (1444 H).More than 2.5 million pilgrims perform Hajj in normal days. However, the Kingdom curtailed the number of pilgrims in 2020, 2021, and also in 2022 owing to the health concern and the Covid-19 Pandemic.
