The Chairman of the VIII Commission of the Indonesian Parliament, Ashabul Kahfi, also revealed the reason for the earlier determination of the Cost of Hajj Implementation (BPIH) this year compared to the previous year, which is only 15 calendar days or 11 working days. "One of the motivations is to provide the opportunity for prospective pilgrims to prepare for the full payment and installment from now on," he said.

"Payment After Passing Health Check"

In this new regulation, pilgrims can settle the hajj payment after passing the health check. Previously, pilgrims had to pay in advance before their health was checked. "If they have not fulfilled the Istithaah, there will be certain treatments until it is decided to be checked again whether they can depart or not Istithaah," said Yaqut.

"If the health condition of the pilgrims does not meet the criteria and requirements, then the departure for the Hajj pilgrimage will be postponed to the following years. 'If they are not physically fit, then it might be postponed to the following year,' said Yaqut."

"However, according to Yaqut, there is no age restriction for pilgrims. Because, everything depends on their health condition. 'So Istithaah is not related to age. It is not necessarily that someone who is 70 or 80 years old is less healthy than someone of my age,' said the man who is familiarly called Gusmen. 'This is one of our ways to provide better service and prevent minimizing the death of pilgrims last year,' concluded Yaqut."
