Pakistani pilgrims scramble to beat the final buzzer as Hajj 2026 registration slams shut at midnight Friday. Religious Affairs Ministry brass gave desperate applicants a lifeline by pushing back the cutoff date from Tuesday. Muhammad Umar Butt from the ministry confirmed that wannabe pilgrims can still squeeze through until the clock strikes twelve. Banks across the nation and the government website remain open for last-minute hopefuls racing against time. The extension came after thousands of faithful Muslims begged officials for extra days to complete their paperwork.
Citizens holding Pakistani passports can still dash to any of fifteen participating banks nationwide before the window closes forever. The ministry website at applyonline.hajjinfo.org offers another avenue for tech-savvy believers chasing their spiritual dreams. Overseas Pakistanis clutching valid passports also qualify for the sacred journey registration process. People who missed out on private Hajj trips during 2025 get another shot at fulfilling their religious obligations. Registration costs absolutely nothing during the initial signup phase.
Successful applicants will later pick between government-sponsored packages and private tour operators when officials announce the 2026 policy details. The upcoming guidelines will spell out exact prices and travel conditions for the holy pilgrimage. Over 313,000 faithful Muslims had already jumped aboard the registration train by Wednesday evening. The massive response proves that Pakistani believers remain eager to visit Mecca despite economic challenges. Ministry officials expect the final tally to climb even higher before registration ends.
