Hajj 2024: Avoid fraud! How to verify your Hajj company online

[ad_1]

Dubai: Planning your Hajj pilgrimage is a momentous occasion and to ensure a smooth and fulfilling experience, choosing the right Hajj service provider is crucial. But with so many options available, how can you be certain you're dealing with a legitimate operator?

On Tuesday, May 14, the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (MOHU) issued an important warning to pilgrims - beware of fake Hajj campaigns. To safeguard yourself, they recommend using their official website - www.haj.gov.sa to find a licensed Hajj service provider.

How to verify a Hajj company online

The ministry offers a user-friendly online service to verify the legitimacy of Hajj companies and establishments. This is applicable for domestic pilgrims – Saudi citizens and residents and here's how you can use it:

• Visit the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah's website - www.haj.gov.sa • Select ‘E-services’ from the menu tab. • Then, scroll down until you see the ‘Inquiry about licensed domestic pilgrims companies and institutions’ option. • Click on ‘Start Service’ and you can then view all the Hajj organisers and companies accredited by the Ministry.

For UAE nationals:

The General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments (Awqaf) is responsible for licensing Hajj operators in the UAE. You can find a list of approved operators on their website - awqaf.gov.ae.

For international pilgrims

If you are an international pilgrim, there are two options available to you:

1. Nusuk platform:

Certain nationalities can use the Nusuk platform - hajj.nusuk.sa, to book Hajj packages from licensed service provides. Nusuk is a comprehensive platform that facilitates the journey of Hajj pilgrims entirely online and only pilgrims from eligible countries can register an account on the platform.

Once their account is registered and verified by the Nusuk platform they can start browsing Hajj packages from authorised service providers and book their preferred package.
