Operators within the UAE are now mandated to seek prior approval from the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments before accepting applications or requests for Hajj or Umrah pilgrimages.

Failure to comply with this requirement will result in significant penalties, applicable to individuals, campaign organizers, and offices alike.

Moreover, the authority's directive prohibits the collection or receipt of donations for pilgrimage purposes without obtaining a valid license.

These measures are part of a broader initiative to streamline the organization of Islamic pilgrimages, ensuring adherence to licensing procedures and imposing strict penalties for any infractions.
