This will make us increasingly puzzled\nthinking about it,\u201d Irfan said during the opening of the National\nConsolidation Meeting for the Implementation of Hajj Worship in 1447\nHijriah or 2026 AD at the Tangerang Hajj Hostel on Wednesday\n(8\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI agree with what Mr Marwan (Chairman of Commission VIII) said; we\ncertainly cannot keep fiddling with the prices, because the lower the\nprice, the more it will reduce the quality,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Menhaj reminded every Hajj task force team serving in the Holy\nLand to work to the best standards and with full responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe emphasis is that service to pilgrims is a trust, not just an\nadministrative task. Even a small mistake will have a very significant\nimpact on the comfort and safety of the pilgrims,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Hajj cost for 2026 has decreased by Rp 2 million compared to\n2025.<\/p>\n<p>The BPIH for 1447 Hijriah or 2026 AD is Rp 87,409,366 from Rp\n89,410,268.79, equivalent to Rp 2 million, decided based on the\nagreement between DPR RI Commission VIII and the Government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year, in collaboration and coordination with friends from DPR\nCommission VIII, we can reduce it again by Rp 2 million,\u201d said\nIrfan.<\/p>",
