Hac Quota(حصة الحج) The annual limit on the number of hacilar each country may send to Hac, determined by the Saudi Ministry of Hac and Umre. The standard allocation is approximately 1,000 hacilar per million Muslim citizens in each country.
حصة الحج
The Hac quota system was established by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in agreement with Saudi Arabia to manage the massive logistical challenge of hosting millions of hacilar. The standard formula allocates 1,000 Hac slots per million Muslim citizens of each country. Saudi Arabia 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 hacilar. The quota system ensures that no single country monopolizes access to Hac and that crowd density remains manageable for safety. Some countries' demand far exceeds their quota, resulting in waiting times of several years.
