The proportion of Hajj pilgrimage costs (BPIH) covered by the government through the value of Hajj funds has increased significantly since 2010, as shown in the graph.

In 2020-2021, the value of Hajj funds reached zero percent or did not come out at all, because the Saudi Arabian Government closed access for foreign Hajj pilgrims due to the Covid-19 pandemic situation.

Then in 2022, access to Hajj pilgrimage was reopened. The Indonesian government covered 59% of the BPIH using the value of Hajj funds, while pilgrims only paid 41%.

However, for 2023, the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) proposed that the value of the benefit contribution be reduced to 30%, while 70% of the total BPIH is borne by the pilgrims.

"If the 59% value benefit composition is maintained, the value benefit is expected to run out quickly. Meanwhile, pilgrims who have a Hajj pilgrimage schedule in the next 5-10 years are also entitled to the value benefit," said Hilman Latief, Director General of Hajj and Umrah Organization Kemenag, in his press release on Saturday (21/1/2023).

"Therefore, in the proposal submitted by the Minister of Religion during a working meeting with Commission VIII of the DPR, the scheme was changed to 70% of the Hajj pilgrimage costs being borne by the pilgrims and 30% by the value benefit," said Latief.

"This proposal may not be popular, but the Minister of Religion (Yaqut Cholil) is doing this to protect the rights of the value benefit of all Hajj pilgrims while maintaining its sustainability," he continued.

Based on Law Number 34 of 2014, Hajj funds are funds from deposits for Hajj pilgrimage costs, Hajj operational efficiency funds, eternal funds for the community, and the value of benefits controlled by the state for the purpose of organizing Hajj pilgrimages and implementing programs for the benefit of the Muslim community.

The value benefit is the result of the development of Hajj funds, both from investment results or the placement of funds in banking products based on sharia principles. This value benefit is usually used to cover part of the BPIH for Indonesian pilgrims.

According to a report from the Hajj Finance Management Agency (BPKH), at the end of 2022, the Hajj fund balance had reached Rp 166.01 trillion, an increase of around 4.55% compared to the end of 2021.

However, the value of managed Hajj fund benefits at the end of 2022 reached Rp 10.08 trillion, down 4% from the previous year.
