Hajj Conditions for Same-Sex Accompanying Applicants
The Ministry of Social Solidarity in Egypt has started accepting applications from members of civil society associations wishing to perform the pilgrimage for the 1448 AH - 2027 AD season, from August 18 to August 31, 2026. The Ministry stipulated that the associations or institutions must be registered before July 1, 2026, and that applicants must be members of the association or part of its board of trustees. They must be Egyptian citizens aged 21 or older, with exceptions for accompanying persons under 18. The Ministry also set health requirements and exempted certain groups, such as cancer patients and pregnant women, from applying. It emphasized that registration must be through a single authority and that applications should be submitted online along with the payment of fees. A public lottery will be held in September 2026, and winners will be required to undergo medical examinations to confirm their health status and ability to perform the rituals, with those unable to demonstrate fitness being disqualified.
