The Government Hajj Scheme 2026 has surprised many applicants this year. Unlike previous years, there was no traditional Qurrah (balloting). Instead, the selection process was completed on a first come, first served basis as soon as applications opened.
This major change, announced by the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, filled Pakistan’s Hajj quota within days. Now thousands of applicants are checking their confirmation status online.
