Asia's Hajj Quota for 1445 H/2024 CE Season

For the upcoming Hajj season of 1445H/2024M, Indonesia has secured the distinction of having the largest allocation of Hajj quotas among all countries in Asia. According to data compiled by Seasia Stats, Indonesia's allocation stands at an impressive 241,600 quotas, reaffirming its status as a key participant in the annual pilgrimage.

The allocation of Hajj quotas is a critical process managed by Saudi Arabia, the host country for the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Each year, countries around the world negotiate and receive quotas based on their Muslim population and infrastructure capacity to support pilgrims during the sacred journey.

Indonesia's position at the forefront with 241,600 quotas reflects its significant Muslim population and longstanding commitment to facilitating the Hajj pilgrimage for its citizens. The Indonesian government and related agencies work diligently to ensure logistical arrangements, health protocols, and other essential services are in place to support pilgrims throughout their Hajj experience.

In Southeast Asia, Indonesia's substantial quota is notably followed by Malaysia, which secures the 6th position with 31,600 quotas. Thailand, ranking 3rd in the region, has allocated 13,000 quotas for its citizens to participate in the Hajj pilgrimage.

The allocation of Hajj quotas not only signifies religious significance but also has economic and social implications for participating countries. For Indonesia, the management and preparation for such a large number of pilgrims involve coordination across various government ministries, religious authorities, and travel agencies to ensure a smooth and safe journey for all participants.

Indonesia's leadership in securing the largest Hajj quota in Asia for the 1445H/2024M season underscores its commitment to facilitating the religious obligations of its Muslim population. As preparations continue, efforts to enhance logistical support and ensure pilgrim welfare remain paramount, reflecting Indonesia's dedication to maintaining the sanctity and accessibility of the Hajj pilgrimage for its citizens.
