Print Record! The 2024 Hajj Quota Absorption is the Highest in History.

Dream - The Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) stated that the absorption of the regular hajj quota in 2024 has become the highest in the history of hajj implementation. Based on records, a total of 213,275 prospective pilgrims have departed out of the 213,320 regular hajj quota. "The number 213,320 is the highest quota in the history of Indonesian hajj. Until the departure closure, a total of 213,275 have been departed to the Holy Land. There are 45 pilgrims whose visas have been issued, but eventually canceled their departure due to various reasons. Meanwhile, the visa issuance process has been closed, so it is no longer possible to make replacements," explained the spokesperson of Kemenag, Anna Hasbie, on Tuesday, June 11, 2024.

"\u201cThe remaining 45 pilgrims are the smallest number in the context of the hajj quota absorption. So, the hajj quota for 2024 is the largest, the highest in terms of quota absorption. The absorption rate reaches 99.98 percent,\u201d he added."

The following is the quota data for regular Hajj pilgrims arriving in Saudi Arabia in the past eight years: 2015: quota 155,200, remaining 744 (0.48%) 2016: quota 155,200, remaining 759 (0.49%) 2017: quota 204,000, remaining 935 (0.46%) 2018: quota 204,000, remaining 649 (0.32%) 2019: quota 214,000, remaining 1,268 (0.59%) 2022: quota 92,825, remaining 157 (0.17%) 2023: quota 210,680, remaining 898 (0.43%) 2024: quota 213,320, remaining 45 (0.02%)

"\u201cUntil today, there have been 84 pilgrims who have passed away in Saudi Arabia, including Jeddah, Madinah, and Makkah,\u201d said Anna. \u201cAll Indonesian hajj pilgrims are currently in Makkah Al-Mukarramah. They are preparing to welcome the peak of the hajj in Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina or Armuzna. Pilgrims will begin their departure from the hotel to Arafah on June 14, 2024,\u201d she added."

The Director of Domestic Hajj Services at the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Saiful Mujab, added that since the beginning, they have been continuously striving to optimize the absorption of the hajj quota. One of the approaches is to expedite the start of the process of settling the Hajj Travel Costs (Bipih). At the same time, the Ministry of Religious Affairs also opens the settlement for pilgrims with reserve status. The settlement of hajj costs for regular pilgrims is opened in two stages.

The first stage, opened from January 10th to February 12th, 2024. This stage was then extended until February 23rd, 2024. The second stage will be opened from March 13th to 26th, 2024. At that time, only 194,744 regular pilgrims have made their payments, so the payment period is extended until April 1st to 5th, 2024.

Until April 5th, there were 196,272 quotas fulfilled, consisting of 194,285 regular hajj pilgrims, 1,484 Regional Hajj Officials (PHD), and 503 worship guides in the Hajj and Umrah Guidance Group (KBIHU). This means that there are still 17,048 quotas for regular hajj pilgrims. However, there are also 26,689 pilgrims who have already fulfilled their quotas with reserve status.
