Here’s the Official Per Person Cost for Hajj 2025

On Tuesday, the federal cabinet approved the Hajj Policy for 2025. According to the policy, 179,210 pilgrims will perform Hajj next year. The cost of the Hajj package is set to range between Rs. 1,065,000 and Rs. 1,075,000. Under the new policy, the government will allocate 5,000 slots for its sponsorship scheme, while 25,000 slots are designated for private operators. It is pertinent to mention that earlier, the Ministry of Religious Affairs has reportedly introduced strict health guidelines for the upcoming Hajj, aligning with updated health protocols from Saudi Arabia. The revised policy restricts individuals with specific serious medical conditions, aiming to protect vulnerable groups during the pilgrimage. According to the ministry, those with severe health concerns—including heart, respiratory, or kidney diseases, as well as cancer—will be ineligible to undertake the Hajj journey. Pilgrims are now required to present a health certificate verifying their fitness for the pilgrimage. This new regulation bars those currently on dialysis, patients with recent heart attacks, and individuals suffering from lung diseases. Other restricted groups include those with liver failure, neurological conditions, or severe mental health issues. Physical disabilities that hinder mobility, as well as memory-related conditions like amnesia, are also included on the exclusion list. Pregnant women beyond seven months and those with infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis or recent viral infections, are prohibited as well. To further safeguard public health, the ministry has mandated vaccinations against meningitis, influenza, COVID-19, and polio for all intending pilgrims.
