With the onset of the pandemic, places of religious importance experienced a complete standstill when it comes to the influx of devotees. In Islam, people put in their life’s savings sometimes for the religiously significant Hajj – which every Muslim individual has to undergo, as per their scriptures.
The Haj Committee of India, understanding the issues Muslims will face trying to apply for the pilgrimage, has adapted to modern times. It has now opened its doors for devotees to now apply for the Haj online.
From the 7th of November 2020, the Hajj Application form – HAF of the pilgrims willing to embark on the Hajj 2021 is online.
How to fill the application form online for the HAF?
The first step begins with registering with the Hajj online committee.
