Baku:The acceptance of documents for the Hajj pilgrimage will continue until the quota is filled, which is expected to be around January, according to Vusal Jahangiri, Head of the Foreign Relations Department of the Caucasus Muslims Office (CMO) and Head of the Hajj Electronic System.

According to Azeri-Press news agency, Jahangiri stated that 15% of the quota allocated for the Hajj pilgrimage has been filled. Initially, the CMO set the price of the pilgrimage package at $6,100 per person, as in the previous year. However, there is a possibility of a slight increase in the amount.

To participate in the Hajj pilgrimage, the required documents include an international passport with at least one year of validity remaining, a copy of an identity card, two 5 cm × 5 cm color photographs taken against a white background (with women required to wear a dark hijab), and a medical certificate. Document submissions are accepted on working days from 1000 to 1600 at the administrative building of the Caucasus Muslims Office, located at 7 Mirza Fatali Street, Baku.

The acceptance of documents for the Hajj pilgrimage began on September 24 this year.
