Summary of Hajj expenses
We gave a detailed overview of Hajj expenses in the last blog, but here is a summary of the expenses in case someone missed the last blog.
The Long Hajj Package and Short Hajj Package were both introduced this year. The price of the Long hajj package is 10 lakh 75 thousand, and the short hajj package is 11 lakh 75 thousand Rupees.
How and When to Deposit the Hajj Fees
This year, a facility has been given to the pilgrims that they can pay the amount in three parts; first, at the time of submission of an application, they can pay 2 Lakh rupees; after that, when their names come in the lucky draw, they have to pay 4 Lakh Rupees. The remaining amount must be paid between 1st Feb to 10th Feb.
In case you are unable to pay the complete amount, your Application will be canceled, and after the deduction of the expense that has already occurred, you will get the remaining amount back.
For the Sponsorship Hajj, an important update is that you have to submit the complete amount at a time, which is $4225.
Additional Facilities
Additional facilities you can get are separate rooms, which you can get in Makkah; if you are going with your spouse, you can get a double bedroom in Makkah. It is important to keep in mind that it is only possible in Makkah and not in Medina.
In order to avail of this facility, both husband and wife have to pay 2 Lakh 59 thousand rupees individually. For Sponsorship Hajj, you have to send 930 Dollars for this separate accommodation.
For Triple Bedroom In Makkah, you have to pay 86,500 rupees, and in this case, these people must have a blood relation and are mahram. In sponsorship Hajj, the amount is $310.
Qurbani is an important ritual of Hajj, and if you want to perform Qurbani with the Ministry, you have to pay 55,500 Rupees, and in the case of Sponsorship hajj, you will have to send 200 dollars more for this purpose.
Important Things to keep in Mind regarding Qurbani
As soon as the Hajj days start, different counters for Qurbani are set up, and it is important to remember that you must not give any local person the Qurbani amount.
There are banks allocated to you by the Saudi government for this purpose, and you will submit the Qurbani amount to these banks, and in return, they will give you a receipt. The same is the method when you intend to perform Qurbani with the Ministry. On that receipt, the time of Qurbani is mentioned.
You can check on their website with the help of the code mentioned on the receipt whether your Qurbani has been performed or not, and after that, you can take off the Ahram.
