Important directives have been issued regarding the application process for the 2027 Hajj pilgrimage, as the government has prohibited direct payments to private Hajj operators within the private scheme framework. Media outlets have confirmed that enrollment for the Private Hajj Scheme 2027 has officially commenced. For the first time ever, all aspects of enrollment, package selection, and financial transactions will be managed exclusively through the Pak Hajj App and the Hajj portal, under the oversight of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
The ministry announced that pilgrims will also be required to choose private companies exclusively via the Pak Hajj App or the Hajj portal. Direct monetary transactions to any private operator or unlicensed intermediary are strictly prohibited. Officials emphasized that if a pilgrim were to pay any unauthorized agent or individual, the entire liability would rest with the applicant.
Under the Private Hajj Scheme 2027, a total of 71,696 pilgrims are slated to undertake the Hajj pilgrimage. Thus far, over 105,000 individuals have registered through the Pak Hajj App. The Ministry of Religious Affairs further clarified that only 25 authorized private Hajj companies are presently registered with the ministry, and only the packages offered by these companies will be accessible through the official Hajj portal and the Pak Hajj App.
