حصة الحج
The Haji quota system was established by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in agreement with Arab Saudi to manage the massive logistical challenge of hosting millions of jamaah haji. The standard formula allocates 1,000 Haji slots per million Muslim citizens of each country. Arab Saudi has the authority to adjust quotas based on capacity constraints, expansion projects, or extraordinary circumstances (as seen during COVID-19 when quotas were dramatically reduced). Countries receive their quota allocation and then distribute slots through various mechanisms — some use lotteries, others use waiting lists, and some prioritize elderly or first-time jamaah haji. The quota system ensures that no single country monopolizes access to Haji and that crowd density remains manageable for safety. Some countries' demand far exceeds their quota, resulting in waiting times of several years.
