Doha - The Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs (Awqaf) has set Tuesday, October 20 as the final day for online registration for the 1448 AH Hajj season. Citizens and residents meeting eligibility requirements are advised to complete the registration process before the deadline and fulfill all health and procedural prerequisites.
The registration process takes place through the official Hajj website (hajj.gov.qa), which enables applicants to submit requests, choose and contract authorized Hajj service providers digitally, and access relevant regulations, guidelines, and services for the season. Qatar's quota for the current Hajj season is 4,400 pilgrims. Following the registration period, the State of Qatar will conduct an electronic screening process and send acceptance notifications via text message to approved applicants.
Early registration is crucial for the preparation of the Hajj season, as it allows Hajj service providers ample time to finalize operational and contractual arrangements. To meet the mandatory health requirement, applicants must obtain a certificate of medical fitness from any health center in Qatar, which is then uploaded electronically into the system overseeing Hajj and Umrah affairs to ensure the safety of pilgrims.
The Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs continues to improve its electronic registration system by offering flexible contracting options and online payments with authorized service providers. A hotline (132) has been established for any queries or feedback related to the registration process.
