Key Takeaways
- Failure to secure accommodations and services triggers quota loss
- Operators causing pilgrims to miss Hajj face permanent license cancellation
- 100% of Hajj package funds must be deposited by December 31
The Ministry of Religious Affairs has issued stringent warnings to private Hajj operators, stating that negligence resulting in pilgrims missing the annual pilgrimage will lead to immediate license cancellation and permanent operating bans.
The ministry confirmed strict measures against companies involved in financial irregularities or delays transferring pilgrims’ funds to Saudi accounts.
Authorities mandated that all private operators deposit 100 percent of Hajj package amounts into designated Saudi accounts by December 31. Failure to meet this deadline will trigger immediate action, including loss of remaining pilgrim quotas and potential license revocation.
Operators must also secure all required services—including land allocations, residential buildings in Mina, and other essential arrangements—within specified timeframes.
The ministry emphasized that incomplete service arrangements would similarly result in quota forfeiture and operational restrictions.
