Al-Awqaf reveals Hajj draw details
The Ministry of Wakf and Religious Affairs in the city of Al-Bireh held the lottery for Hajj among the northern governorates (the West Bank, including Jerusalem) for the 1448 AH / 2027 Hajj season. The event was conducted with official presence and supervisory oversight to ensure transparency and integrity. The electronic system received 30,880 applications from eligible citizens, competing for a total of 3,470 seats—representing approximately 11% of the total applications—while ensuring fair demographic representation from all regions. The lottery placed special emphasis on seniors aged 70 and above, as well as prioritizing those who registered repeatedly over the past years, including previous winners who were unable to travel. The ministry announced comfortable lodging options in categorized hotels, along with land and air transportation methods. The payment period was set from October 27 to November 5, 2026, with a firm reminder to only deal with licensed Hajj companies to guarantee the safety and legitimacy of procedures.
