JAKARTA - The Ministry of Religion reports that Indonesian pilgrims will depart for Arafah on 8 Dzulhijah or June 4, 2025, to start the entire process of a series of 1446 Hijri Hajj services.
The Director General of Hajj and Umrah at the Ministry of Religion, Hilman Latief, said that his party continues to strengthen data consolidation and draw up a scheme to ensure that pilgrims depart for Arafah.
"We are compiling various committee movement mitigation schemes, to ensure that all pilgrims are stuck in Arafah. Don't let anyone be left behind, scattered, and even neglected," Hilman said in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, Monday, June 2.
Hilman Latief explained that the three mobilization schemes for pilgrims to Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina (Armuzna) had been prepared.
First, the regular movement scheme. In the regular movement scheme, the congregation departs from Makkah to Arafah to carry out wukuf.
After Maghrib, the congregation was dispatched to Muzdalifah to carry out the mabit (staying). After passing midnight, the congregation moved to Mina for a month of up to 12 or 13 Dzulhijah.
"This (regular movement) will be followed by around 67 percent or around 136,000 Indonesian Hajj candidates," said Hilman.
The second scheme is Murur. After performing the wukuf in Arafah and after entering Maghrib time, the congregation moved across Muzdalifah (not getting off the bus), then heading to Mina. This scheme will be followed by around 33 percent or around 60 thousand Indonesian Hajj candidates.
The third scheme, namely Tanazul. The pilgrims who carry out the Hajj candidates are those who will throw the jumrah on 10 Dzulhijah (after wukuf and mabit in Muzdalifah), then return to the hotel, no longer return to Mina's tent.
"They are worshipers who live in hotels around the Syisyah and Raudhah areas," he said.
Jemaah Tanazul akan kembali ke Jamarat untuk melemparan jumrah Ula, Wustha, dan Aqabah pada 11, 12, dan 13 Dzulhijah. Scheme ini ditargetkan akan diikuti 37 ribu calon haji.
The Murur and Tanazul scheme is the government's effort to unravel the density in Muzdalifah and Mina. Both schemes were implemented after the government conducted a study and it was concluded that this would not violate the Shari'a of the pilgrimage.

For the elderly, disabled, and comorbid, Special Wukuf Safari is enforced. They will receive an escort from medical personnel, worship assistants, and transit hotels to ensure they can continue to carry out the pillars safely and properly.
In addition, Hilman also explained the scenario for the movement of Indonesian pilgrims during the peak of Hajj in Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina.
"First, from Makkah to Arafah. This movement will be carried out in three trips," he said.
On June 9, 2025, all Hajj participants were already in Arafah to carry out the wukuf pilgrimage. After that, the congregation will move from Arafah to Muzdalifah. The movement begins at 19.00 WAS. The congregation with a regular scheme will pay in Muzdalifah.
"From Muzdalifah to Mina, the congregation will be served by buses with the Muzdalifah - Mina taraddudi (backball) system until dawn," said Hilman.
After the evening in Mina, the congregation who took the initial nafar and nafar tsani will be dispatched back to Makkah in stages.
"We adjust all of these movements to the capacity of sharia services and reality on the ground," said Hilman.
