Passport for Haj 2027: machine-readable, issued on or before 9 September 2024, not expiring before 31 December 2027, with at least two blank pages.

If you can't go yourself: families sometimes arrange Hajj-e-Badal or Badal Umrah on behalf of someone unable to travel — scholars set conditions for this, so ask your scholar.

Next step: check the full HCoI guidelines, or ask us about alternatives.
