      <title>Pakistan secures second highest quota for Hajj pilgrims
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30284581/pakistan-secures-second-highest-quota-for-hajj-pilgrims</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Saudi government has announced the second highest quota for Pakistani pilgrims for Hajj 2022, with 81,132 people from the country, reported &lt;em&gt;Saudi Gazette&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah approved the quotas for pilgrims from all countries across the world for Hajj 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Indonesia received the highest quota among all the countries, with 100,051 Indonesian Muslims, according to the &lt;a href="https://saudigazette.com.sa/article/619683"&gt;report&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After Pakistan, the quotas are 79,237 pilgrims from India and 57,585 pilgrims from Bangladesh, securing the third and fourth highest slots.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Two vaccination doses are mandatory and people over 65 years cannot do Hajj, said Saudi Ministry of Hajj.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In April, Saudi Arabia announced that &lt;a href="https://www.aaj.tv/news/30283397/"&gt;one million people&lt;/a&gt; would perform Hajj this year, greatly expanding the key event to participants from outside the kingdom after two years of tight Covid restrictions.  &lt;/p&gt;
