It Turns Out That This Is The 2026 Hajj Scheme, Must Know!

YOGYAKARTA - The 2026 Hajj Scheme has been officially set by the government with stricter new rules. This makes it a reform of the pilgrimage for the first time, so what is the purpose?

Now, there are only two official institutions as organizers of the hajj. This change in the hajj scheme is a big step towards holding more professional worship.

With this new scheme, pilgrims are expected to get services that are safer, more comfortable, and by the rules. The surveillance system is also tightened, so that opportunities for fraud and illegal levies can be reduced.

The government through the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has officially established the 2026 Hajj scheme with a new pattern that is simpler and more transparent.

Reporting from the Antarenews page, previously there were eight service provider companies (syarikah) in Saudi Arabia that handled Indonesian pilgrims, now the number has been cut to only two selected sharia.

The two appointed sharia are Raken Mashariq Al Mutamayizah Company For Pilgrim Service and Albait Guest. This determination was made after going through a rigorous selection process, from the beginning of more than 150 sharia, then filtered to 50, then 20, until finally only two of the best companies remained.

Deputy Minister of Hajj and Umrah, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak, said that this policy had a direct impact on reducing the cost of Hajj services. From the previous 2,300 riyals, now it has been reduced to 2,100 riyals per congregation.

Interestingly, the decline in more than 200 riyals occurred without illegal levies (extortion) and without manipulation, thus providing real benefits for pilgrims.

Not only reducing the number of sharia, the government also stipulates a long-term contract scheme. If previously the contract was carried out every year, now the contract is set directly for three years at once (multi-years).

So what is the purpose of this long-term scheme? Well, this step aims to prevent manipulation in the auction process and reduce the potential for repay services' that harm pilgrims.

Dahnil also emphasized that the change in the 2026 Hajj scheme was part of a wider reform of Hajj governance. The government wants to present an efficient, accountable, and professional system.

With only two official sharia and multi-year contracts, the implementation of the hajj is expected to be free from interests that can harm the congregation.

This new scheme will begin to be implemented in the 2026 Hajj season. Later, this rule will become a reference in all logistics planning, accommodation, and congregational services in the Holy Land. The government is optimistic that this policy will increase comfort as well as close the gaps for the occurrence of extortion and misappropriation of hajj funds.

With the 2026 Hajj rules and schemes that are more transparent, efficient, and professional, pilgrims are expected to receive better services without extortion or manipulation.
