Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas emphasized that there was no misuse of the use of additional quota allocations in the operation of the Hajj pilgrimage 1445 Hijri/2024 AD.
"There is no misuse of additional quota. That's the principle," Yaqut said in Medina, Saturday.
Yaqut's affirmation responded to the criticism of the Hajj supervisory team regarding the transfer of additional quotas.
This year's Indonesian Hajj quota is 221,000 people. This number consists of 203,320 regular hajjes and 17,680 special hajjes.
In addition, Indonesia also received 20,000 additional quotas which were then divided by 10,000 each for regular Hajj and 10,000 for special Hajj.
"We do not abuse and God willing, we carry out this mandate as well as possible," he said.

The peak of organizing the 1445 H/2024 M pilgrimage has just been completed. The process of Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina (Armuzna) went smoothly. The density incident in Muzdalifah in 2023 can be anticipated properly so that the pilgrims have even departed from Muzdalifah to Mina at 07.37 Saudi Arabia (WAS) time.
"Alhamdulillah, the peak of the hajj went smoothly, starting from the procession in Arafah, Muzdalifah to Mina, everything went well and smoothly," he said.
This, he said, could not be separated from the implementation of the Smartcard Nusuk policy and the existence of a scheme (murur) in the process of encouraging pilgrims from Arafah to Mina.
Murur is a scheme for the movement of pilgrims from Arafah, passing through Muzdalifah (without getting off the bus) and directly to Mina. This scheme is applied to elderly pilgrims, high risk, and disabilities.
"I think one of the keys to the success and smooth journey of our pilgrims is in these two things, nusuk and Murur," said the Minister of Religion.
In the 1446 H/2025 M hajj season, Indonesia again received a quota of 221,000 people. The certainty of the Hajj quota for next year was obtained by the Minister of Religion after attending the Tasyakuran Closing of the 1445 H Hajj and Giving Quota 1446 H.
