Islam to become the world's largest religion by 2050
In a bid to encourage the low-income and middle-class citizens, the government has announced a new installment policy for the Hajj next year.
The new installment plan is expected to attract more pilgrims this year.
Under the proposal, which is already approved by the cabinet, the expenses of Hajj are divided into three installments instead of a single lump sum.
Pilgrims will have the facility to pay Rs1.1 million in three installments. First instalment would be an initial deposit of Rs200,000 to apply for Hajj. Following their selection in the lucky draw, they would then pay an additional Rs400,000, with the remaining amount to be paid before departure.
The plan is part of the government’s Hajj policy, which will be approved by the federal cabinet.
Officials from the Ministry of Religious Affairs stated that this installment plan is designed to provide financial relief to lower and middle-income groups who often face challenges in securing the full amount upfront.
