The first batch of Indonesian Hajj pilgrims will begin their journey to the Holy Land on Friday (July 28th). Starting from the 2017 Hajj season, Indonesia's Hajj quota has been increased to 221,000 pilgrims. This figure is a result of the restoration of Indonesia's Hajj quota by 52,200 to 211,000 pilgrims, plus an additional 10,000 pilgrims granted by the Saudi Arabian government. Previously, the Hajj quota was reduced to 168,800 pilgrims due to the expansion of the Grand Mosque (Masjidil Haram) from 2014-2016.

The high interest among Indonesian Muslims in fulfilling the fifth pillar of Islam has resulted in a long waiting list for Indonesian Hajj pilgrims. Some residents in Sulawesi have had to wait for decades to perform the Hajj pilgrimage. The increase in the Hajj quota will reduce the waiting time to an average of approximately 14 years, down from 17 years previously.
