The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) informs all intending pilgrims for the 2026 Hajj to take note of the approved medical eligibility guidelines.
Pilgrims diagnosed with these medical conditions are not permitted to undertake the 2026 Hajj, in line with Saudi Arabia’s international health requirements and safety conditions.
Mandatory medical screening will be conducted for all registered pilgrims before visa will be issued. Medical clearance is a condition for travel.
A statement from the commission said these measures are in place to protect pilgrims, ensure safe participation, and support the orderly conduct of the Hajj.
It added that for guidance and verification, pilgrims should contact their State Pilgrims Welfare Boards or their registered Tour Operators.
Compliance is mandatory.
