The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) has successfully allocated the full quota of 900 Hajj places for 2026 (1447) to eligible applicants who submitted the required medical certificate, as stipulated by the KSA Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (MOHU).
The health certificates confirm that the pilgrims are medically fit, free from the disqualifying chronic medical conditions, and are physically capable of performing Hajj rituals safely, in line with MOHU’s new health requirements. To better support senior applicants, MUIS had given priority consideration to those aged 70 years and above who have received the letter of intent and are certified medically fit during the final selection for Hajj 2026.
Of the 900 places, 12% were allocated to senior applicants aged 70 and above who qualified under the quota, an increase of 5% from 2025. MUIS will continue to review and adjust this approach as needed for future allocation exercises.
Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs and Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs, Singapore, Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim said: "The successful allocation of all 900 Hajj places for Hajj 2026 reflects our collective commitment in ensuring a fair, transparent and compassionate process for Singaporean pilgrims. All 900 selected pilgrims are medically fit, having obtained the required medical certificate from registered medical practitioners in Singapore as required by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (MOHU) of Saudi Arabia.
"This measure aims to protect the safety and well-being of our pilgrims. MUIS will continue to work closely with our partners and the Saudi authorities to ensure that our pilgrims are well prepared financially, physically, mentally and spiritually for this sacred journey, as we strive to fulfil our community’s aspirations."
All confirmed pilgrims have purchased their Hajj packages from MUIS-authorised travel agents, MUIS said.
Applicants who did not receive the letter of offer in this allocation exercise will remain on the waiting list until 20 March 2026, the closing date for Hajj visa processing set by MOHU. Applicants who do not receive any communication from MUIS via the MyHajSG portal after 20 March 2026 may assume no places are available for 2026. Currently, about 65,000 applicants are awaiting their turn.
