According to the statement, early deposits will enable intending pilgrims to secure their places for the 2027 Hajj exercise, ease the financial burden through advance and phased payments, and allow NAHCON and the State Boards to make timely and efficient arrangements for accommodation, catering, transportation, Masha’ir services and other logistics in Makkah, Madinah and the Holy Sites.
NAHCON also announced the commencement of advance deposits for the 2028, 2029 and 2030 Hajj seasons.
Interested persons are encouraged to begin saving towards their pilgrimage through their respective State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, Agencies or Commissions, or any approved Hajj Savings Scheme (HSS) participating banks.
The advance deposit initiative, the Commission noted, is designed to help prospective pilgrims spread the financial cost of Hajj over time while enhancing the ability of NAHCON and the State Boards to undertake early planning, secure quality services and ensure efficient Hajj operations.
For further enquiries and information on payment procedures, intending pilgrims are advised to contact their respective State Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Boards, Agencies or Commissions, or any HSS participating bank.
