Hajj Guide: Burkina Faso

The Commission Nationale d'Organisation du Hadj coordinates registration. Pilgrims register at provincial offices or through licensed operators. Requirements include valid passport, vaccination certificates (yellow fever mandatory, meningitis ACWY), medical fitness certificate, and payment of package fees.

The হজ্জ Commission licenses operators annually. Government-organized packages and private operator options are available. The Fédération des Associations Islamiques du Burkina (FAIB) also assists with হজ্জ coordination.

Burkina Faso has approximately 61% Muslim population. The Maliki school predominates. French is the official language — Arabic language preparation is মুস্তাহাব. Community savings groups are common for financing হজ্জ. The Burkinabè হজ্জ mission includes medical teams and religious scholars.
