Hajj 2027

Welcoming a pilgrim home

Pick them up, let them rest, watch for illness, and congratulate them with "Hajj mabrur". Visitors can wait a few days.

Last checked: November 2026. Written for pilgrims travelling from the UK.

Arrange airport pick-up and a quiet first day
Stock the fridge so they don't need to shop
Watch for coughs, fever or exhaustion, and see a GP if worried
Space out visitors over the following days
Ask about their Hajj, and ask them to make dua for you
