THE proposal to shorten the window for performing the haj, especially those under the muassasah, will reduce costs for Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH), the Dewan Negara sitting was told today.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Mohd Na’im Mokhtar said shortening the period would make pilgrims stay in Mecca and Medina during the peak of the haj, thus contributing to the increase in costs.
