Preparing the hajj fund is not easy. There are a lot of things to get in the way for you to get the hajj fund. Whether it’s from yourself, such as excessive personal expense, or external factors such as the rise of the dollar. To help you, we have prepared a few tips and tricks to help you get your own the hajj fund so that you will be able to go pilgrimage in your 30s.
Estimate your Cost for Pilgrimage
Savings will be impossible without a target. So, if you want to save for the hajj fund, you have to have a clear target. It can be an estimation of the total expense you will spend on your pilgrimage. This estimation will include a Biaya Penyelenggaraan Ibadah Haji (from government, BPIH), emergency fund, and other related expenses.
Usually, BPIH will depend on embarkation, the value of the rupiah, the pilgrimage package you take, and local government rule. This BPIH usually will increase each year. So it is important for you to know how much BPIH costs you so that you can have a clear target. You can get information about BPIH by browsing on official Kementerian Agama Republik Indonesia’s website.
Estimate How Many Years You Need to Save Money
Not only estimate the total expense for your pilgrimage, but you also need to estimate how many years you’re going to save to reach your target. Usually, Kementerian Agama Republik Indonesia will choose banks that already have its own scheme for the hajj fund. This scheme can be a lot, however, it usually goes like this:
In short, there are two timeframes on saving for the hajj fund. First, is to register, and the second is to complete the BPIH. You should not spend too much time to pay the minimum amount (IDR 25 million). If you spend too much time, your waiting duration will be longer too.
Open The hajj fund Bank Account
It will be very hard to save without focus. To increase your focus, you should just open the hajj fund bank account. This will make you focus and also better for your money. This account will not be used for personal use if you commit to only use the account for hajj. It is now very easy to open the hajj fund bank account. Kementerian Agama Republik Indonesia chooses few banks that can receive your money and also manage your hajj fund. You can easily open your bank account there, as long as you meet their requirement.
