JAKARTA – The National Hajj Commission (Komnas Haji) encourages Commission VIII of the House of Representatives to immediately set the cost for the implementation of the 1446 Hijriah/2025 Masehi hajj in view of the increasingly tight time.
“The time is stuck. I am afraid that the maximum preparation for the implementation of the hajj will be disrupted,” said Chairman of the National Commission Haji Mustolih Siradj in Jakarta, Friday, November 29, as quoted by Antara.
He explained that the implementation of the 2022 hajj is only a few months away. Regarding the plan prepared by the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag), May 2, 2025 is the first flight of a host plane to the Holy Land.
That is to say, he said, from today there are only five months left. But so far, Commission VIII of the House of Representatives has not agreed and has not fixed the amount of costs for the hajj and related to various other technical preparations, including the amount of the pilgrim quota .
“In December 2024 to January 2025, the House of Representatives will enter the recession period. Reflecting on the Hajj season in 2024, in early November 2023, Panja Haji worked through a marathon and at the end of November, the results of the BPIH agreement were submitted to the President,” said Mustolih.
The professor from the State Islamic University of Jakarta (UIN) is concerned that the preparation for hajj which is too short and stagnant will have an impact on the implementation of hajj not maximum.
On the other hand, Hajj candidate pilgrims need immediate certainty of the amount of costs that must be reimbursed and the departure schedule.
“For potential pilgrims, many may be unable to repay due to lack of socialization and suddenness, so there will be many hajj quotas that will not be absorbed,” he said.
According to him, the implementation of hajj requires careful preparations as it concerns various technical aspects, especially organized in Saudi Arabia, including the preparation of visa documents, passports, flights, health aspect, consumption , housing, transport, handling, etc.

All of these aspects require costs, so one must carefully calculate who is included in the Hajj Implementation Cost Component (BPIH).
“Where there (BPIH) there is also the cost of Hajj (Bipih) travel which must be reimbursed by potential pilgrims and how much of the value of the benefits of Hajj funds which will be subsidized by the Hajj Financial Management Agency (BPKH),” he said.
Various contracts for financing hotels in Makkah, Medina, consumption, transportation, health, fees in Masya’ir, including accommodation in Arafah and buan, must be carried out immediately and not be too late .
If it is too late, he said, then there is a risk that the location of Hajj pilgrims will be placed far from the zone centers/area of a ring near the Hajj pilgrimage center, such as the mosque Haram, the Nabawi Mosque and, in particular, the construction site in the hamlet to move towards the implementation of worship in Jamarat.
If the place is far away, he continued, pilgrims need approximately more energy, not to mention the elderly and those who are at high risk (cristi) for health. Agent support also requires greater focus.
