Pakistan's Religious Affairs Ministry began accepting Hajj 2026 applications with dues collection starting Monday, August 4. Previously registered individuals can submit applications and pay initial installments through banks or online portals between August 4 and 9. New applicants may register from August 11 to 16 based on available seats. Ministry spokesperson Muhammad Umar Butt announced that dues collection ends when seats fill completely. The first-come, first-served system determines participant selection.

Officials estimate package costs between Rs 1.15 million and Rs 1.25 million with mandatory sacrificial offerings covered. Pilgrims must pay the second installment beginning November 1. The ministry eliminated previous age limits and restrictions on multiple Hajj performances, expanding eligibility significantly. Children born after March 1, 2014 cannot apply for the pilgrimage. Butt encouraged prompt applications within announced deadlines to secure participation.
