Muhammadiyah supports the discourse of BP Hajj to become a new ministry that is the reason

Jakarta – PP Muhammadiyah supports the Hajj Organizing Agency (BP) to become a new ministry. The reason why the implementation of the pilgrimage should be handled in an integrated way. “In my opinion, the pilgrimage requires an integrated handling and uneasy attention. With the existence of the Hajj’s existence, the implementation of the pilgrimage is expected to be even better,” PP Muhammadiyah, Dadang Kahmad, told reporters Wednesday (8/20/2025). PP Muhammadiyah chairman Anwar Abbas also supported the plan. He said BP Hajj could be fully responsible for the implementation of Hajj and Umrah as they became ministries.

Anwar explained that one of the reasons for supporting BP Haji has become a ministry. He said BP Hajj will be equivalent to the Hajj and Umrah Saudi Arabia ministry to facilitate the coordination of Hajj and Umrah issues between Ri-Saudi. “To run the management of Hajj Finance by Ltkh and not run by Hajj’s Hajj Ministry, because if combined, it will be able to break the attention of Hajj’s ministry so that it can disrupt and damage the performance of the management of Hajj and Umrah,” Anwar said. “Things like this are very important to get attention, so that the implementation of Hajj and Umrah no longer has many problems in the future,” he added. Previously, the Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian Parliament Adies Kadir revealed that BP Hajj’s proposal made a special ministry in dealing with Hajj and Umrah. Adies said this proposal is intended not to tax the Ministry of Religion. “There is also a proposal like that (BP Hajj becomes a ministry). So to tax the tasks of the Ministry of Religion, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah is formed,” Adies said Tuesday (19/8). Adies acknowledged that the implementation of Hajj and Umrah often had problems. It is also said that this reason underlies the proposal for the formation of the Hajj and Umrah ministry. “The government can therefore be considered to be made by the ministry itself, which is specifically guided, and also oversee the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, the Indonesian congregation who is indeed the most world,” he said.
