Can Children Go on Hajj?

Although the Hajj pilgrimage is obligatory for adults, there is no obstacle for children to go to the holy lands during the Hajj period. Since individuals under the age of 18 are considered children, those below this age criterion must be accompanied by their parents. Children who have not yet reached puberty can also go on Hajj. The Presidency of Religious Affairs draws lots for the performance of the Hajj pilgrimage. Candidates whose names are drawn in this lottery are entitled to go on Hajj, and this process is carried out within specific periods. There is no need for a person who has registered once to go on Hajj to renew their registration. This is because the system automatically renews the names of those who have registered previously. Therefore, those who have registered once for Hajj do not need to take any further action in subsequent periods.

Changing Hotel and Room Preferences

Those who wish to go on Hajj can make their preferences regarding hotel or room selection. Detailed information can be obtained from relevant online companies on internet pages that provide consultancy services for Hajj. Room preferences may be more affordable than hotel preferences. Those who wish to change their accommodation preference can do so by visiting the mufti's offices by a certain date. The Presidency of Religious Affairs requests a representative figure for the Hajj lottery to be conducted. This fee must be paid to the relevant banks. Payments can also be made through internet banking or mobile applications of banks. When making the payment, it is necessary to specify to the relevant bank that the fee is the Hajj Lottery Fee.
