Hajj: The Sacred Pilgrimage to Mecca in July or August
Hajj is the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, the holiest city in Islam. It is a religious obligation for every adult Muslim who is physically and financially able to undertake it at least once in their lifetime. This profound journey occurs during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah, which typically falls in July or August according to the lunar calendar. The exact dates shift each year, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon. In 2024, Hajj is expected to take place in mid-August.
