Hanania Partners Hope Umrah Pilgrims' Funds Can Be Recovered

Dozens of partners of PT Khazan_ah Tama Internasional, or Hanania, reported an alleged umrah fraud case to the Jakarta Metropolitan Regional Police on Tuesday (2/6/2026). The umrah travel organiser is suspected of fraud due to its failure to depart prospective pilgrims on their religious journeys.

A representative for Hanania’s partners, Rachmat Gumilar, stated that a total of 85 partners have been disadvantaged by the alleged fraud committed by the travel bureau. According to him, the total losses experienced by the partners are estimated to reach Rp 20 billion.

“The total number of partners reporting is approximately 85. Furthermore, the total losses incurred by the partners are roughly between 15 to 20 billion,” he said at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police on Tuesday.

He expressed hope that the funds belonging to the prospective umrah pilgrims could be returned, as the pilgrims are the primary victims of this fraud case, especially given the significant number of people affected.

“Yes, the most important thing is that the pilgrims’ money can be recovered,” he added.

He noted that the pilgrims’ funds should be refunded in the event of a failure to depart, as clearly stipulated in the contracts between the partners and Hanania.

“We have evidence of the agreement, an official notary deed. It is stated there that all payments are made directly to Hanania headquarters. There are also points stating that if departure fails, a 100 per cent refund must be provided by Hanania headquarters,” he explained.

According to Rachmat, there has been no good faith shown by Hanania to date regarding the return of the pilgrims’ money. Consequently, the group has reported Hanania to the police authorities.
