Asked by Anonymous pilgrim23 Oct 2026Hajj

In short

Hajj 1448 is expected in mid-May 2027, with the Day of Arafah around the middle of the month; the exact dates depend on the sighting of the Dhul Hijjah moon. Indian Haj Committee flights usually begin several weeks earlier.

Expected timing

  • Hajj falls on 8–13 Dhul Hijjah 1448, expected in mid-May 2027.
  • The exact dates are fixed only when the Dhul Hijjah moon is sighted, so they can shift by a day.

What happens before

  • Applications: the Haj Committee of India opened applications for Haj 2027 in mid-2026; follow HCoI for any further windows or waiting-list news.
  • Flights from India: pilgrims usually fly several weeks before Hajj, from their state's embarkation point.
  • Umrah season: foreign Umrah pilgrims' last departure date for the 1448 season is 7 April 2027, before Hajj begins.

If you plan to go next year: start with passport validity (HCoI's Haj 2027 rule: not expiring before 31 December 2027), health checks, and the HCoI or registered private-operator route.

Next step: ask us about Hajj packages and timelines.
