Hajj Guide: Mali

The Maison du Hadj manages হজ্জ registration in partnership with licensed operators. Pilgrims register at regional হজ্জ offices. Requirements include valid passport (6+ months), vaccination certificates (yellow fever, meningitis ACWY), medical examination, and registration fees.

Licensed হজ্জ operators register with the Maison du Hadj. Both government-organized and private operator packages are available. The Maison du Hadj website and offices provide the list of approved companies for each season.

Mali follows the Maliki school of jurisprudence. French and Bambara are the primary languages — হাজীগণ should prepare for Arabic-language environments. Mali has a strong tradition of communal হজ্জ savings groups (tontines) to fund হজ্জ. Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for all travelers.
