KOTA BHARU, Sept 28 – The Malaysian government is awaiting a response from Saudi Arabia regarding the additional Hajj quota for 2025, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar.
He said his team had written an appeal to Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Hajj and Umrah Dr Tawfiq Fawzan Muhammed Al-Rabiah regarding the matter.
“In that appeal, I asked Tawfiq to consider Malaysia to be given an additional Hajj quota for the year 2025,” he told reporters after the inauguration ceremony of Majlis Perasmian Muzakarah Haji Peringkat Kebangsaan Ke-41 Musim Haji 1446H here on Friday night.
“We have been doing this since last year after the 2023 Hajj season ended and we hope that Saudi Arabia will decide.”
Mohd Na’im said Malaysia still maintains a Hajj quota of 31,600 for Malaysian pilgrims.
