Singapore Hajj quota processed successfully

The Islamic Council of Singapore (Muis) has successfully processed all 407 places as granted by KSA. Pilgrims were given the Hajj places in accordance with the conditions and requirements for Hajj 2022 as well as the places in the Muis’ Advance Haj Registration System (AHRS).

Muis said that all pilgrims have registered with the officially-appointed Hajj travel agencies and paid for their preferred Hajj packages already. This year, 10 approved Hajj packages were available, half of which offer stays of 14-23 days, and the rest offering stays of up to 29 days.

Prices ranged from S$6,830 (quad occupancy) to about S$15,125 (double occupancy). All package prices quoted included emergency medical assistance but excluded airfare, masha'ar* (المشاعر) costs of between S$5,000 and S$9,000, and and prevailing taxes.

"Muis is now working to have their Hajj visas issued by the kingdom," the organisation reported.

*Masha'ar refers to the large-scale movements of pilgrims within specific boundaries in Arafah, Muzdalifah and Mina to fulfil their Hajj pilgrimage between 7 and 12 Dhulhijjah.
