Misifri pointed out that Qatar’s share of pilgrims this year amounted to 4,400 pilgrims. For Qatari pilgrims, the condition is that the age of those wishing to register for Hajj should not be less than 18 years, and they are allowed to register three companions with them.
As for Gulf citizens and residents, the condition is that the age of those wishing to register should not be less than 45 years, and they are allowed to register one companion, and the period of residence in the country should not be less than 15 years, noting the importance of registering companions, if any, in the same main application, to avoid any problems that may occur later.
Regarding the registration mechanism via the website, Misifri confirmed the ministry’s keenness to facilitate the registration procedures and explain them in a detailed and easy manner, by preparing a simplified video clip to explain the registration method and the steps followed by the applicant, and the clip will be published on the Ministry’s accounts on social media platforms.
Misifri added that the number of licensed and approved Hajj campaigns currently amounts to 27 offices, calling on the public to contact the Hajj and Umrah Affairs Department in the event of inquiries or complaints via the hotline (132) during official working hours.
