Hajj Registration
“First-Come, First-Served” Concept
Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) introduced a “First-Come, First-Served” concept for hajj registration system since 1995.
TH depositors who register for hajj will be given a year in which they will perform their hajj, based on the date and time of their hajj registration.
Therefore, all TH registered depositors are qualified to perform their hajj when their turn come.
