All on This Year's Hajj Queue to Receive Slots, Confirms President
Big news for Maldivians planning to perform Hajj this year! President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has officially announced that every individual on the Hajj queue under the Maldives Hajj Corporation will get a slot for this year's pilgrimage. This marks a significant milestone, as it's the first time in many years that all applicants for a particular year will be accommodated within the same season.
The President made this announcement via a post on X, where he highlighted the government’s commitment to ensuring that no one who has been waiting for this sacred journey is left behind. This move has been welcomed by many, as the Hajj pilgrimage is a deeply cherished spiritual obligation for Muslims.

Minister of Islamic Affairs, Dr. Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed, further confirmed that there are currently 850 individuals in the queue for this year’s pilgrimage. To ensure fairness, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs has implemented a policy prioritizing first-time Hajj pilgrims. Those who have already performed Hajj must wait five years before applying again.
Recognizing the long waiting times many people face, the ministry is actively working to increase the country’s overall Hajj quota. If successful, this would significantly reduce the backlog and allow more Maldivians to embark on this sacred journey sooner.
For many, the opportunity to perform Hajj is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and this announcement has brought relief and joy to those who have been eagerly waiting for their turn. The government's efforts to streamline the process and accommodate as many pilgrims as possible reflect a strong commitment to supporting the religious aspirations of its people.
As the pilgrimage season approaches, preparations are in full swing, and those in the queue can now begin their spiritual and logistical preparations with certainty. This is truly a moment of celebration for all those awaiting their journey to Mecca!
