The Ministry of Religious Affairs has officially approved all 79,000 applicants who applied for the 2025 Hajj pilgrimage under the government’s Hajj scheme. This significant development ensures that every applicant will be able to perform the sacred pilgrimage to Makkah and Madinah as part of the official program.
The announcement comes after thorough verification and processing of applications, which were received in response to the Hajj policy announced earlier this year. The government has worked diligently to manage the selection process, ensuring that the pilgrims meet all required criteria.
The approval is a relief for thousands of Pakistanis, as it guarantees them a place in the government-organized Hajj, which offers subsidized travel and accommodation, providing much-needed assistance for those who otherwise might struggle with the financial burden.
The Ministry has also assured that necessary preparations, including travel arrangements, health protocols, and support services, will be in place to ensure a smooth and safe journey for all pilgrims.
This marks a successful implementation of the government’s Hajj policy, aiming to provide equitable access to the pilgrimage for the citizens of Pakistan.
