2027 Hajj Pilgrims Urged to Prepare Physically and Mentally, Risk of Failing to Depart a Concern
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah is urging prospective pilgrims scheduled for 2027 departure to start preparing now. Prep should cover mental readiness, mastering the rituals, and physical condition to reduce the risk of not being able to go due to health issues.
Minister of Hajj and Umrah Mochammad Irfan Yusuf said, during previous hajj seasons, 345 pilgrims ended up not departing after a final health check at the embarkation point. So he stressed the importance of staying fit and understanding the rituals so pilgrims aren't too dependent on others in the Holy Land.
Beyond individual readiness, the government has also proposed the 2027 Hajj Travel Cost (Bipih) to the House of Representatives. Discussion will take place through a Working Committee after the recess period, then the result will be submitted to the President to be set in a Presidential Decree.
With time still on their hands, prospective pilgrims are expected to use this period to ensure they're physically and mentally ready. Past cancellations serve as a reminder that health is just as crucial as having your paperwork in order when it comes to eligibility for departure.
