The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, or the Hajj Ministry, is perfecting\nthe readiness of facilities for Indonesian Hajj pilgrims ahead of the\npeak Wuquf in Arafah. The Ministry is ensuring that all infrastructure\nand facilities, such as room coolers and sanitation systems, function\noptimally before the pilgrims\u2019 arrival.<\/p>\n
Director General of Hajj Services at the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah,\nIan Heriyawan, led an inspection at several maktabs managed by Syarikah\nAl Bait Guest (Dhuyuf Al-Bait), including Maktab 62 in the Arafah\narea.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to ensure that all Indonesian Hajj pilgrims can enter the\ntents in Arafah and perform the Wuquf worship calmly and reverently. It\nmust be ensured that we check and recheck at every moment until all\npilgrims\u2019 rights are fulfilled,\u201d said Ian in Arafah, Saudi Arabia, on\nSunday, 10 May 2026, quoted from a written statement on the Ministry of\nHajj website.<\/p>\n
Ian also detailed several facilities provided for Indonesian Hajj\npilgrims during Wuquf in Arafah. One of them is surveillance cameras\n(CCTV) in every corridor of the maktab operating non-stop. Then, the\ntent floors are covered with thick additional structures to dampen\ndesert heat, carpeted, and equipped with new foam mattresses complete\nwith pillows and two blankets for each pilgrim.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Hajj Ministry equips each tent with two to three\ncooling units or ACs. This is to anticipate the scorching weather\ntemperatures in Arafah.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, in addition to providing sitting, squatting, and\nspecial toilets for the disabled, the Hajj Ministry is also preparing\nand installing urinal frames outside the men\u2019s toilet cubicles to reduce\nqueues during the Hajj peak.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, regarding the health of Hajj pilgrims during Wuquf, the\nMinistry ensures the availability of maktab clinics with wheelchairs,\nprayer rooms, and special customer service rooms.<\/p>\n
According to Ian, the main facilities for performing Wuquf in Arafah\nare already installed. However, he provided several notes regarding\nenvironmental cleanliness and the completion of inter-tent partitions.\nHe gave a five-day deadline for the Syarikah party to complete all Wuquf\npreparations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will recheck in the next five days, namely on Thursday. The\nsector heads have also been asked to inspect the locations directly so\nthey know exactly where the pilgrims are placed and can respond\nimmediately if there are any issues,\u201d said Ian.<\/p>\n
He assured that periodic supervision continues to be carried out by a\njoint team from the Hajj Ministry along with catering and transportation\nsupervisors. This is said to guarantee service standards in accordance\nwith the agreed contract for the success of the 1447 Hijriah or 2026 CE\nHajj organisation.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/various-hajj-preparations-ahead-of-the-peak-wuquf-in-arafah-1778496825", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
