Hajj Guide: Libya

The General Authority for Awqaf and Islamic Affairs coordinates حج registration. Pilgrims apply through local religious affairs offices. Requirements include valid passport, medical examination, vaccination certificates (meningitis ACWY mandatory), and registration fees.

حج operations are primarily managed by the government authority with some licensed private companies. The authority publishes approved operators each year. Due to ongoing political complexities, حجاج should verify current procedures through local offices.

Libya follows the Maliki school predominantly. Due to political instability, حج logistics may vary year to year — حجاج should confirm current processes with local authorities. Libyan dinars may need to be exchanged before travel as currency availability can fluctuate. Medical teams accompany Libyan حج delegations.
