ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s government has kicked off the first phase of its mandatory Hajj 2026 trainings for intending pilgrims in Islamabad and other cities, state media reported on Sunday.
Pakistan’s religious affairs ministry said earlier this week that the day-long Hajj training programs will be held in phases across the country until February.
It said these trainings will be conducted by experienced trainers and scholars using multimedia. The religious affairs ministry also said the training exercise has been made mandatory to ensure that intending pilgrims are fully aware of Hajj rituals and administrative procedures.
“The first phase of mandatory comprehensive training program for intending Hajj pilgrims has begun in Islamabad and at different cities,” state broadcaster Radio Pakistan reported.
“Hajj training sessions will be held in Rawalakot, Badin, and Naushahro Feroze tomorrow, while pilgrims in Fateh Jang, Dadu, and Tharparkar will receive training on Tuesday.”
