Islamabad, July 10, 2025: The Ministry of Religious Affairs has extended the Hajj 2026 registration deadline by two days. Pakistani pilgrims can now apply until Friday, July 11, 2025, through the ministry’s official website or at 15 designated banks.
The move follows a surge in registration requests. As per official figures, over 313,000 applicants have already completed their registration. Earlier on Wednesday, the number stood near 250,000, showing a rapid increase within hours.
The initial registration phase does not require any payment. Applicants will later choose between government or private Hajj schemes once the Hajj Policy 2026 is announced, outlining all costs and conditions.
