MUIS allocates all 900 Haj 2026 (1447H) places to eligible pilgrims

The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) has successfully allocated all 900 Haj places for Haj 2026 (1447H) to eligible applicants who submitted the required medical certificate, as stipulated by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (MOHU) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). All confirmed pilgrims have purchased their Haj packages from MUIS-authorised travel agents. They are encouraged to begin preparing for their journey and to participate actively in the various preparation programmes organised by MUIS and its partners.

For Haj 2026, all prospective pilgrims have obtained valid medical health certificates confirming that they are medically fit, free from the disqualifying chronic medical conditions, and are physically capable of performing Haj rituals safely, in line with MOHU’s new health requirements. To better support senior applicants, MUIS had given priority consideration to those aged 70 years and above who have received the Letter of Intent and are certified medically fit during the final selection for Haj 2026. MUIS is pleased to note that out of the 900 places, 12% are allocated to senior applicants aged 70 and above who have qualified under the upcoming quota, an increase of 5% from 2025. MUIS will continue to review and adjust this approach as needed for future allocation exercises.

Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs and Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs, Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, said: "The successful allocation of all 900 Haj places for Haj 2026 (1447H) reflects our collective commitment in ensuring a fair, transparent and compassionate process for Singaporean pilgrims. All 900 selected pilgrims are medically fit, having obtained the required medical certificate from registered medical practitioners in Singapore as required by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (MOHU) of Saudi Arabia. This measure aims to protect the safety and well-being of our pilgrims. MUIS will continue to work closely with our partners and the Saudi authorities to ensure that our pilgrims are well prepared financially, physically, mentally and spiritually for this sacred journey, as we strive to fulfil our community’s aspirations."

Applicants who did not receive the Letter of Offer (LOO) in this allocation exercise will remain on the waiting list until 20 March 2026, the closing date for Haj visa processing set by MOHU. Should any Haj place become available before the closing date, the next eligible applicant on the waiting list will be contacted.

Applicants who do not receive any communication from MUIS via the MyHajSG portal after 20 March 2026 may assume no places are available for Haj 2026 (1447H). They will remain in the waiting queue for future allocation exercises. Currently, about 65,000 applicants are awaiting their turn.

MUIS understands the aspirations of applicants who are still waiting to perform Haj. MUIS will continue exploring better solutions to address this and pray that Allah S.W.T. rewards our Muslims’ patience and steadfastness and grants them the opportunity to fulfil this sacred obligation in a future Haj season, Inshaa’ Allah.
