WEST LOMBOK - The Hajj Financial Management Agency (BPKH) currently manages cash funds of up to IDR 45 trillion which is ready to be used to finance the departure of Indonesian pilgrims to Mecca in 2023.

BPKH member Harry Alexander, ensured that the funds managed were safe and liquid so that the information stating that the hajj funds had run out was fake news or hoaxes.

"The management of funds is also carried out sharia through placement in banks and investment through the bank receiving deposits for the cost of organizing the pilgrimage (BPIH)," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, June 15.

Harry also emphasized that the hajj funds are managed fairly and sustainably to meet the principles of istitha'ah.

"Hajj funds managed by BPKH are ensured to be safe and well managed," he said.

BPKH, he said, invests sharialy and so far financing and investment have not been stuck. Even BPKH currently controls 20 percent of Islamic finance in Indonesia.

In addition, his party seeks to help the Hajj ecosystem with investments that provide value benefits for Muslims, both in NTB and in Indonesia.

For this reason, Harry invites Hajj stakeholders to carry out hajj financial literacy to the public, so that they have the right information regarding the management of hajj funds by BPKH.

"Do not let prospective pilgrims cancel their departures, even though they have economic capacity because the pilgrimage is an obligation for those who can afford it," he also said.

NTB Governor H Zulkieflimansyah appreciated BPKH's role in improving Hajj services in NTB, and in collaboration with Bank NTB Syariah.

"We hope that the potential of 450 thousand people who have not registered for Hajj can be accommodated by Bank NTB Syariah," he said.
