Tabung Haji Prioritizes Visually Impaired Pilgrims in Hajj 2025 Malaysia's Tabung Haji, the national pilgrimage fund, has demonstrated its commitment to inclusivity by prioritizing the well-being of visually impaired pilgrims during the 2025 Hajj season. This initiative underscores the organization's dedication to ensuring that all pilgrims, regardless of ability, can fully participate in this important religious journey. Central to this initiative is the launch of a specialized guidebook for visually impaired pilgrims.

"We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to perform this sacred pilgrimage, and we are committed to providing the necessary support to make it happen."
