Haj 2026 Deadline Extended to Jan 25
The government has given a final extension until January 25 for people who have been chosen to go on the Haj pilgrimage in 2026.
They need to finish their bookings and submit their passports.
The government also told the people organizing the pilgrimage to fix any problems quickly or they might lose their permission to organize.
This is the last chance to finish everything, and no more extensions will be given.
The ministry of minority affairs extended the deadline for Haj 2026 bookings to January 25, 2026.
Pilgrims must submit valid passports and complete bookings with authorized Haj Group Organisers (HGOs).
HGOs must upload pilgrim details and complete arrangements on the Nusuk portal by the deadline.
HGOs failing to meet requirements face disciplinary action, including quota cancellation and blacklisting.
No further extensions will be granted beyond January 25, 2026.
