Based on data from the Ministry of Religious Affairs' Integrated Hajj Computer and Information System (Siskohat), 389 Indonesian Hajj pilgrims died in Saudi Arabia during the 1446 Hijriah/2025 Hajj pilgrimage.

This year's number of deceased pilgrims shows a significant decrease compared to 2023 (775 deaths) and 2024 (461 deaths).

According to location of death, 305 Indonesian pilgrims died in Mecca this year, 36 in Medina, 20 in Mina, 15 at the airport, and 13 in Arafah.

The majority (64%) of deceased Indonesian pilgrims this year were senior citizens aged 65 and above. The remaining 36% were aged 41-64.

According to information from the Ministry of Religious Affairs' official website, the Hajj Pilgrimage Organizer (PPIH) in Saudi Arabia ensures that deceased or disabled regular Hajj pilgrims will receive insurance benefits.

This insurance is divided into four schemes:

First, for regular Hajj pilgrims who died of non-accidental causes, insurance benefits are equal to the Regular Hajj Pilgrimage Cost (Bipih) according to their embarkation point.

Second, for regular Hajj pilgrims who died in an accident, insurance benefits are double the Regular Hajj Pilgrimage Cost (Bipih) according to their embarkation point.

Third, for regular Hajj pilgrims with total permanent disability due to an accident, insurance benefits are equal to the Regular Hajj Pilgrimage Cost (Bipih) according to their embarkation point.

Fourth, for regular Hajj pilgrims with partial permanent disability due to an accident, insurance benefits are a predetermined percentage, with a maximum equal to the Regular Hajj Pilgrimage Cost (Bipih) according to their embarkation point.
