Saudi Arabia issues Guidelines for Hajj 2025 pilgrims
In preparation for this year's Hajj 2025 pilgrimage, Saudi Arabia has released regulations for its domestic pilgrims, including citizens and Muslim resident expatriates. Trending: Saudi Arabia opens Hajj 2025 registrations for local pilgrims
This comes after the Hajj ministry opens registrations for local pilgrims for Hajj 2025 through Nusuk app or https://localhaj.haj.gov.sa
Priority will be given to individuals who have not previously performed Hajj, except for the guide of the eligible pilgrim, throughout the registration process, which began earlier this month, according to the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah of Saudi Arabia.
Additionally, the national card or residency permit (iqama) needs to be valid until the 10th of the Islamic lunar month of Dhul Hijjah, which is the day after the Hajj peak.
If the applicant enters inaccurate information, their registration will be invalid, so make sure to provide proper and accurate data.
The pilgrim must be in excellent health and free from any severe, infectious, or chronic ailments, according to the ministry. Vaccinations against meningitis and seasonal flu are mandatory for pilgrims. Most Viewed: The first day of Holy Ramadan is likely to be on this date in Saudi Arabia
Applicants must book in advance and adhere strictly to all guidelines in order to be eligible. The reservation might be canceled due to data errors or requirements violations.
Hajj packages are yet to be announced; however, the Ministry clarifies that after the Hajj pilgrimage begins, no sum paid will be refunded.
It highlighted the importance of following all healthcare and preventative recommendations and standards, staying on schedule for visiting the holy sites, and following all directions for getting there, getting ready, and accommodation.
Obtaining a Hajj permit from the Nusuk portal is essential. Make sure to print it out with the QR code clearly visible. Keep on to it for the entire pilgrimage ceremony and don't let anyone else use it.
The ministry highlighted the importance of early registration, recommending those applying to fill out their health forms, include spouses or other family members as pilgrims, and, if necessary, request an exemption from the Mahram requirement. Join Saudi Expatriates channel on WhatsApp
