144 Banyuwangi Hajj Candidates Deemed High Risk

A total of 144 Hajj candidates from Banyuwangi for the 2026 pilgrimage have been categorized as high-risk pilgrims. This category includes pilgrims with comorbidities like hypertension, diabetes, heart disorders, and mobility issues that require special attention during the Hajj rituals. In addition to the high-risk group, there are 503 Hajj candidates over 65 years of age placed in the priority category. The Head of the Banyuwangi Religious Affairs Ministry Office, Rif’an, stated that priority pilgrims will receive additional facilitation, including access to the 'murur' program. The murur program allows pilgrims to only pass through Muzdalifah without disembarking from their vehicle during the peak Hajj days, then proceed directly to Mina. This aims to reduce crowding and maintain the comfort and health of pilgrims during the rituals. https://kabarbaik.co/144-jemaah-calon-haji-banyuwangi-masuk-kategori-resiko-tinggi/
