Deputy minister: Cost of Haj pilgrimage up due to inflation, Saudi Covid-19 SOPs

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 — The cost of performing the Haj is expected to increase due to the inflation rate as well as the latest regulations which have been set by the Saudi Arabian government, especially following the introduction of the standard operating procedures amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

“However, Tabung Haji will inform the cost for the 2022 Haj season when everything is finalised,” he said during the question-and-answer session at the Dewan Rakyat, today. Ahmad Marzuk said currently TH was reviewing the cost following the new regulations and taxes introduced by Saudi Arabia, including the haj visa fee imposed beginning from the 2020 Haj season and the additional tax rate which had increased from five to 15 per cent since July last year.

Ahmad Marzuk said those whose turn to perform the Haj was during the 1441H/2020 season, would be given priority next year, adding that pilgrims in this year’s list would also be given the opportunity in 2022 subject to availability of places.
