Hajj and Umrah Commission to Refund Registration Fees to Unsuccessful Applicants

The Supreme Commission for Hajj and Umrah announced its decision to fully refund registration fees to applicants who were not selected in the electronic Hajj lottery. The commission reassured citizens that no fees would be withheld from unsuccessful participants, establishing clear mechanisms for financial reimbursement. This follows the introduction of new guidelines prioritizing elderly citizens aged 45 and above who have not previously performed the pilgrimage, a measure coordinated with the legislature to ensure equitable opportunities.
