ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Religious Affairs declared a new policy for registered pilgrims who cannot perform Hajj because of unavoidable events, such as serious sickness or death.
Under the ministry’s notification, in such instances, a close relative of the registered pilgrim will be entitled to perform Hajj on their behalf.
A pilgrim who cannot travel can substitute another individual or opt for a refund of the amount deposited.
The policy also says that such a request for refund or substitution is required to be accompanied by valid grounds and supporting documents, like a death certificate or a medical certificate.
Applicants will also be asked to provide an affidavit on stamp paper, the original bank deposit slip, and a photocopy of the national identity card.
The authorities said the new policy is to facilitate genuine cases without financial or procedural obstacles.
