I am planning on going with my wife and kid this year. Does anyone know if there is a law surrounding going hajj with a baby. He will be 8 months then.

Do you know when they are likely to open bookings?

The Haj Ministry website has started accepting applications from Saudis and expatriates who wanted to make use of the low-cost Haj scheme.
More than 40,000 pilgrims are expected to benefit from the low-cost Haj scheme this year, said Abdul Hameed Al-Sinani, secretary general of the Coordination Council for Domestic Haj Service Firms.
Speaking to Arab News, Al-Sinani said 53 companies and establishments have been authorized to provide low-cost services to eligible pilgrims for SR2,500 to SR5,000.
“About a third of the total domestic pilgrims are accounted for this low-cost service. The program, which is introduced by the ministry, will be a great relief for a good number of citizens and expatriates,” he said.
Other domestic Haj operating companies have been striving to scale down the cost of Haj, but can only slash prices to a certain extent since factors, such as rising air fare and road transport costs, food supply contracts and rising labor charges, are beyond their control.
“The cost of renting out tents, furnishing tents and making additional modifications on them have also risen considerably,” Al-Sinan added.
Such factors have made it difficult for the council to force companies to bring down their charges despite demands on companies not to hike prices unreasonably.
“The council did not directly force or interfere in the pricing policies exercised in domestic pilgrim companies. It is, nevertheless, the council’s duty to advise them to keep their prices affordable,” said Al-Sinani, adding that he found that companies were cooperative and have slashed prices from last year’s higher tariffs.
Saad Al-Qurashi, owner of several domestic Haj companies, reiterated that the coordination council does not have the authority to set tariffs of private companies. “The council should uphold its fundamental roles and represent us effectively so we remain reassured,” he added.

Thank you. . . Thank you so much
I just applied for Hajj today andddd made the payment in the morning

But uptil now, its showing that the "Payment is still waiting". . . I dont know what to do. Im trying to call the Hajj Operator but their number is coming busy

As per my knowledge... It is taking time ... If u made the payment today in the morning you will get the update the next morning.... It also depends on the mode of payment (online inter/intra bank transfer etc.,) as long as you make the payment before the due date it should be okay

For people who have registered via groups you might need to contact your group to confirm the status and make the hajj payment yourself....
