"Those who, God willing, will be dispatched this year are prospective pilgrims who are registered as pilgrims for the 2020 Hajj," he said.
Ahmad said that the hajj quota obtained by Bekasi Regency was based on the Decree of the Governor of West Java. From the normal quota of 2,174 congregations, this year only 1,001 congregations were dispatched.
"There is a reduction in the quota, but it does not reduce the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of prospective Hajj pilgrims because it has been delayed for two years. In fact, this year prospective pilgrims get a number of additional facilities," he said.
