Food is crucial to ensure pilgrims have\nthe physical strength to endure the 2026 Hajj peak rituals. \u201cCatering is\na critical and urgent sector as it concerns the basic needs of pilgrims\nundertaking physically demanding rituals during Armuzna,\u201d Siti stated in\na statement quoted on Monday, 25 May 2026. She added that the situation\ncould cause concern among pilgrims. \u201cWe hope food supplies arrive\npromptly so that provisions are ready for pilgrims before departing for\nArafah. Pilgrims should not leave without adequate food supplies,\u201d Siti\nsaid. She also called for improvements in food distribution to\naccommodate all departure schedules to Armuzna. \u201cThis means catering\nneeds for pilgrims departing in the afternoon, evening, or night must be\nensured. This must not be overlooked,\u201d Siti said. \u201cIf there are\nobstacles, the Ministry of Hajj must act swiftly and intelligently to\nresolve the issue. The priority is ensuring pilgrims feel safe,\ncomfortable, and receive the best service during Hajj,\u201d she added.\nPreviously, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (MoHU) stated that the peak\nHajj phase would begin on 8 Zulhijah 1447 AH, corresponding to Monday,\n25 May 2026. The peak Hajj rituals will commence with pilgrims departing\nfor Arafah before performing the wuquf. \u201cUpon arrival at Arafah,\npilgrims will stay overnight and prepare for the wuquf the following\nday, which is the pinnacle of Hajj rituals,\u201d said MoHU spokesperson\nMaria Assegaff in a press conference via YouTube on Tuesday, 19 May\n2026. \u201cThe Armuzna phase is the core of the Hajj rituals and the most\ncritical stage in its execution,\u201d Maria added.<\/p>",
