A total of 23,620 Pakistani Pilgrims<\/a> will perform the sacred journey on the private quota of Hajj 2025, according to details.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Religious Affairs has released rules for the Private Hajj Scheme 2025, requesting all certified Hajj operators to have visas issued by April 18.<\/p>\n

The private operators have been requested by the government to quickly submit documents of the service agreement for the newly assigned quota, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The ministry also stated that an updated list of authorized operators has been posted on the official website and the Pak Hajj mobile app.<\/p>\n

Pilgrims may monitor the progress of their apps and the services available through these platforms.<\/p>\n

Private pilgrims should consider using the Pak Hajj 2025 smartphone app for real-time information and service tracking to ensure a seamless and transparent experience.<\/p>\n

60,000 pilgrims deprived of performing Hajj<\/h2>\n

Due<\/span> to<\/span> delays<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> agreement<\/span> and<\/span> payments<\/span> to the<\/span> Saudi<\/span> government<\/span>,<\/span> approximately<\/span> 67<\/span>,<\/span>000<\/span> Pakistani<\/span> pilgrims<\/span> will<\/span> not<\/span> be<\/span> able<\/span> to go<\/span> for<\/span> Hajj<\/span> in<\/span> 2025<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Religious Affairs had allocated a total<\/span> quota of 179,210 pilgrims for Pakistan for<\/span> the<\/span> Hajj<\/span> season<\/span> –<\/span> 89,605 spots each for the<\/span> government and private tour operators<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Only<\/span> 14,000 applications were accepted under the private scheme, even<\/span> though<\/span> Hajj organizers failed to make timely bookings and payments.<\/p>\n

Although<\/span> the<\/span> Saudi<\/span> Ministry<\/span> of<\/span> Hajj<\/span> for 67,000 pilgrims had<\/span> sent<\/span> SAR<\/span> 7<\/span> million<\/span> to<\/span> Saudi Arabia<\/span>,<\/span> they<\/span> had<\/span> rejected them<\/span> because<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> delay<\/span> in payment<\/span> and agreement<\/span> finalization<\/span>.<\/p>\n

In response to the Pakistan<\/span> government\u2019<\/span>s<\/span> special<\/span> request<\/span>, Saudi Arabia granted an additional 10,000 quotas;<\/span> however<\/span>, this<\/span> still<\/span> did<\/span> not<\/span> cover<\/span> the<\/span> substantial<\/span> number<\/span> of<\/span> applicants.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif directed<\/span> an inquiry into the reduction of possible<\/span> private Hajj quotas<\/span>.<\/p>\n
