The Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs of Oman announced the start date for registration for Hajj 1448 Hijri for citizens and residents of the country. Registration will be conducted electronically from September 28 to October 11, 2023. This initiative aims to facilitate the registration process and increase transparency in the selection of Hajj companies for pilgrims.
Details of Registration and Selection of Hajj Companies
The Ministry of Awqaf emphasized in a statement that Hajj companies are not allowed to interfere in the registration process to ensure transparency and freedom of choice for pilgrims. Pilgrims are required to select a Hajj company from the registration system, which means agreeing with that company and financial commitment. Pilgrims must pay a specified percentage of the cost electronically through the system. This electronic contract is binding for both parties, namely the pilgrims and the Hajj companies, and in case of late payment, the Ministry of Awqaf reserves the right to cancel the registration request.

The Ministry of Awqaf also announced that any registration request submitted before this announcement, after the specified deadline, or lacking the necessary documents will not be considered.
