SHAH ALAM: Prospective pilgrims who fail to pass the health screening to perform the haj for the 1447H/2026 season, as required by the Saudi Arabian government, may reapply the following year if their health condition improves, says Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) said so far, just 3% of 31,600 Malaysian pilgrims for 2026 have failed the health screening.
