SINGAPORE - Starting in 2023, Muslims here who wish to increase their chances of being offered a spot to perform the haj pilgrimage will be able to tap a new automated balloting scheme.
It normally does so from the Muslim month of Syawal – when Muslims celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri – onwards, with the haj performed about two months later during Zulhijjah, the final month of the Islamic calendar. Verification checks will be done before the balloting process begins to ensure the eligibility of applicants, who should ensure that they meet the given criteria before applying for the scheme, said Muis.
