Hajj 2026 Qurrah: How to Check Result, Livestream Details, Payment Options, and More!
The deadline for online applications for Hajj 2026 has passed, and preparations are now in progress to conduct the Qurrah, which is also referred to as Qurandazi or the draw of lots, in order to finalize the list of pilgrims who will perform the annual rite organized by the Haj Committee of India.
The Hajj Qurrah, or draw of lots and qurandazi, is held when the number of applications received by the Haj Committee exceeds the assigned quota of Haj pilgrims. Saudi Arabia allots a specific quota of Hajj to each country based on its Muslim population. According to the Bilateral Haj Agreement inked by India and Saudi Arabia, 175,025 pilgrims from India would perform Hajj this year. An estimated 70% of them will go to Makkah via the Haj Committee of India. The remaining 30% will make Hajj through private tour operators or Haj group organizers (HGOs).
The Haj Committee of India began accepting Hajj Application Forms (HAF) from pilgrims wishing to sail Hajj 2026 (Hajj 1447 AH) via its website, hajcommittee.gov.in, on July 7, 2025. The initial application deadline was July 31, 2025. It was, however, extended to August 7, 2025. The Haj Committee of India has not yet stated how many applications it has received through August 7, 2025. It will, however, hold the qurrah and draw of lots on August 13, 2025.
