The Directorate General of Hajj and Umrah Organizing (PHU) of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) is currently in the process of issuing a Presidential Regulation (Perpres) regarding the Cost of Organizing Hajj Worship (BPIH) for the year 2024.

"According to Gus Men, this presidential regulation will regulate the Cost of Hajj Pilgrimage Travel (Bipih) that must be paid by the pilgrims based on the departure embarkation."

Gus Men explained that the payment for the Hajj Pilgrimage Travel Costs (Bipih) for regular pilgrims will be carried out in two stages. The first stage of the payment will begin from January 9 to February 7, 2024, while the second stage of the payment will be open from February 20 to March 2024.

The Director General of Hajj and Umrah Organization (PHU) of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Hilman Latif, added that the first phase of payment can be made by pilgrims who meet the following criteria: 1. Regular pilgrims according to the departure queue number for 1445 H/2024 M. 2. Regular pilgrims who are in the elderly priority group. 3. Regular pilgrims who are in the queue of reserve quota numbers.

"Meanwhile, for the second phase of payment for pilgrims who meet the following requirements: 1. Pilgrims who experienced system issues or payment failures in the first phase of payment. 2.

"Minister of Religious Affairs and Minister of Hajj of Saudi Arabia Discuss Plans for Hajj Preparation 2024."

The Indonesian Minister of Religious Affairs, Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, also known as Gus Men, expressed his gratitude to the Saudi Minister of Hajj and Umrah, Taufiq F Al Rabiah, for the allocation of 221,000 hajj quotas and an additional 20,000, bringing the total hajj quota for Indonesia in the year 1445 H/2024 M to 241,000 pilgrims.

"Gus Men also expressed gratitude for the increase in the allocation of hajj officer quotas for 2024 from initially 2,100 people to 4,421 people. However, he emphasized that this number is still insufficient compared to the number of Indonesian hajj pilgrims that need to be served."

"I also propose an increase in the quota of hajj officers to improve the quality of services. I hope this proposal also receives approval from the Saudi Ministry of Hajj," he stated.

Discussing the Placement of Pilgrims in the Series of Masyair Worship.

"In the meeting, Gus Men emphasized that the certainty of the placement plan for Indonesian hajj pilgrims in Masyair is very important to address potential crowding, especially with the increase in the global quota including an additional 20,000 quota for Indonesia."

“Placement plans are important to ensure that pilgrims performing the Hajj in the year 1445 H/2024 M are well served. We also communicated this to the Saudi Ministry of Hajj. This includes my proposal for ease and priority services for disabled and elderly pilgrims during the Hajj season of 1445 H/2024 M,”

The Ministry of Religious Affairs also requested policy support from the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah to ensure that the offices place the pilgrims in tents in Arafah and Mina. This aims to prevent the recurrence of incidents where pilgrims occupy tents outside the agreed-upon plan.

"The Ministry of Religious Affairs also proposed a reduction in the special hajj service formula by the consortium of hajj travel companies and its association, from 2,000 pilgrims to 1,000 pilgrims," emphasized Gus Men.
