The Ministry of Religious Affairs has extended the registration deadline for the Hajj 2026 private scheme by five additional days, providing intending pilgrims with more time to finalize their applications and documentation.
According to ministry officials, approximately 4,500 seats remain vacant under the private quota. The registration deadline—initially set for October 17—has been revised to accommodate both pilgrims and Hajj group organizers who faced delays in completing formalities.
Officials emphasized that the extension aims to ensure maximum participation and ease for applicants, urging them to complete the registration process promptly, as available seats are limited and filling up quickly.
