MCQ Detailed View

Indonesia sends the highest number of Hajj pilgrims to Saudi Arabia each year. As the most populous Muslim-majority country in the world, with over 230 million Muslims, Indonesia naturally leads in the number of individuals who perform Hajj annually.

Due to quota limitations set by the Saudi government to manage crowd control during Hajj, each country is allocated a specific number of pilgrims based on its Muslim population. Indonesia consistently receives the highest quota and fills it every year, often with additional waiting lists for future years.

The government of Indonesia has established a well-organized Hajj administration system that ensures pilgrims receive training, guidance, and support throughout the pilgrimage process. This organized system also contributes to the large number of Indonesian pilgrims able to complete the journey each year.

In comparison, Pakistan and Malaysia also send a significant number of pilgrims, but their quotas are smaller due to their relatively lower Muslim populations. Hence, Indonesia remains the top contributor in terms of Hajj pilgrims.
