The National Hajj Commission coordinates registration through licensed Hajj companies. Pilgrims apply through authorized operators. Requirements include valid Somali passport, vaccination certificates (meningitis ACWY, yellow fever, polio), medical examination, and passport-size photos.
Hajj companies must be licensed by the National Hajj Commission. The commission publishes a list of authorized operators. Pilgrims in the diaspora may also arrange Hajj through operators in their country of residence.
Somalia follows the Shafi'i school of jurisprudence. The Somali diaspora is large, and many Somali pilgrims travel from their countries of residence rather than from Somalia. Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory. Pilgrims should carry adequate USD cash as Somali shillings are not widely accepted abroad.
