Jeddah: The Pilgrims Fund board (TH) has made thorough and comprehensive preparations for the 1447H/2026M Haj operation to enable Malaysian pilgrims to focus fully on their worship throughout their stay in the Holy Land. Malaysian Consul General in Jeddah, Tengku Mohd Dzaraif Raja Abdul Kadir, said all key aspects, including accommodation, logistics, and daily necessities, are being managed in a systematic and orderly manner.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, essential needs are being properly taken care of so that pilgrims can perform their religious duties without concern and concentrate fully on fulfilling the fifth pillar of Islam. TH, in collaboration with local service providers, is putting in significant effort to ensure the welfare and needs of pilgrims are well safeguarded, allowing them to focus entirely on their worship.

A ta'aruf ceremony was held as a collaborative programme between TH and Holiday Inn Bakkah, which has been appointed as a local operator for the first time, to ensure smooth coordination of this year's haj operations. The 1447H/2026M Haj operation officially began on April 18, with 31,600 Malaysian pilgrims departing in stages to Madinah and Makkah via 100 chartered flights operated by AMAL by Malaysia Airlines and Saudia Airlines.
