As the window narrows, aspiring pilgrims are reminded that Hajj 2026 registration officially closes tomorrow, Wednesday, July 9, a date that marks the last chance to begin the sacred journey under Pakistan’s Hajj quota. The Ministry of Religious Affairs has reinforced that anyone intending to perform Hajj must complete the mandatory registration by this deadline to be considered eligible.
Pilgrims can complete Hajj 2026 registration either from the comfort of their homes through the official online portal or by visiting one of the 15 designated banks across Pakistan. The ministry has made it clear: no registration, no Hajj. Officials also urge overseas Pakistanis with valid passports to finalize their applications as soon as possible via the same online platform.
Government and Private Hajj Schemes Still Open
While registration is closing soon, applicants have flexibility in how they wish to proceed. According to a ministry spokesperson, individuals who complete Hajj 2026 registration can choose between the government and private Hajj schemes, based on their preferences and budget. Details of the expenses and package structures are expected to follow in line with official Hajj policy.
Pakistan’s final Hajj quota for 2026 will be based on the total number of registrations submitted by the deadline. The process aligns with Saudi Arabia’s updated Hajj guidelines, with quota allocations reflecting each country’s confirmed applicants.
This year’s pilgrimage drew over 1.67 million Muslims from across 171 countries. Saudi Arabia reported 1,506,576 international and 166,654 domestic pilgrims, with near gender parity, 877,841 men and 795,389 women. The inclusive participation in 2025 set a hopeful tone for an even more organized Hajj 2026 season.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs is calling for immediate action. Missing the deadline could mean waiting another year for this once-in-a-lifetime spiritual journey.
