The Kaduna State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board
on Sunday said it would commence registration of intending pilgrims for
this year’s Hajj in the 23 local government areas of the state on Jan.
3.
Information on the registration is in a statement issued by the
Public Relations Officer of the Board, Yunusa Abdullah, made available
in Kaduna.
According to the statement, the Board wants intending pilgrims to
present themselves physically during the exercise because registration
by proxy will not be allowed.
Abdullahi quoted the Overseer of the Board, Imam Hussaini Ikara, as
warning that “intending female pilgrims would only be registered when
they come along with their
male guardians, in line with Saudi Arabian government’s regulations.”
Ikara also warned intending pilgrims to adhere strictly to the registration guidelines.
The imam said intending pilgrims must have guarantors before they
would be registered to avoid pilgrims absconding in the Holy Land and
advised that the guarantors should be Jumuat Mosque Imams, a District
Head or a Civil Servant not below level 12.
He indicated that in the guidelines, new pilgrims would be given
priority during the registration exercise and warned that pregnant women
and old people with nobody to accompany them would not be registered.
Intending pilgrims are to pay a minimum N800,000 or maximum of N1.2
million as deposit in a designated bank account, pending the
announcement of fares by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria
