Menag: Prioritas Kuota untuk yang Belum Pernah Berhaji

NUSANTARA, - Presiden Joko Widodo telah mengumumkan bahwa kuota haji Indonesia tahun 2017 adalah 221 ribu jamaah. Ada kenaikan kuota yang cukup signifikan di tahun ini, yaitu 52.200 jamaah.

Menteri Agama Lukman Hakim Saifuddin mengaku bersyukur dengan kenaikan ini. Menurut dia, peningkatan ini sangat berarti karena sudah empat tahun kuota Indonesia dipotong 20 persen sehingga 168.800 jamaah.

"Mudah-mudahan ini akan semakin memperpendek antrean para calon jamaah haji Indonesia," kata Menag usai menyampaikan sambutan ada acara Halaqah Ulama "Refleksi 33 tahun Khittah NU" yang diselenggarakan di Pondok Pesantren Salafiyah Syafi'iyah, Situbondo, baru-baru ini.

Menurut Menag, antrean jamaah haji Indonesia saat ini cukup panjang, meski berbeda-beda antarprovinsi. Namun, Lukman menegaskan bahwa penambahan tu akan diprioritaskan bagi umat Islam yang belum berhaji.

"Prioritas betul-betul ditujukan bagi yang belum berhaji sama sekali," ujar Lukman. Karena itu, dia berharap, jamaah yang sudah pernah berhaji untuk bisa berbesar hati memberikan kesempatan kepada sesama saudaranya yang belum berhaji.

Menag mengatakan bahwa kewajiban berhaji hanya sekali. Mereka yang sudah pernah menjalankan, sesungguhnya sudah tidak berkewajiban lagi untuk berhaji. "Kewajibannya sudah gugur maka kita beri kesempatan bagi yang belum berhaji sama sekali," ujarnya. Dilansir ihram.

Di tempat terpisah, Dirjen Penyelenggaraan Haji dan Umrah (PHU) Abdul Djamil menegaskan, setelah kuota diumumkan maka pihaknya saat ini tengah melakukan berbagai persiapan penyelenggaran ibadah haji 2017. Persiapan itu bahkan sudah dilakukan sejak akhir 2016 lalu. (rol/roc).
