Every year, approximately 200,000 pilgrims from Indonesia depart for the Baitullah of Saudi Arabia to perform the pilgrimage. This amount could increase if the request for an additional quota to Saudi Arabia by the Indonesian government is accepted.

The large quota of pilgrims in Indonesia is because the majority of Indonesia's population is Muslim, which is the country with the largest Muslim population in the world.

The Hajj portion number is the serial registration number that the congregation gets when paying the initial deposit at the bank that receives the Hajj Pilgrimage Implementation Fee (BPIH) deposit, for financing or pilgrimage fees.

The steps for checking the year of Hajj departure via cell phone start with making sure you have paid the initial BPIH deposit. Payment will be accompanied by proof of the initial deposit which includes the number of the Hajj portion.
Go to the Ministry of Religion website. Hover over the Database link and a column for estimated departures will appear, then click it.

Enter the number of the pilgrimage portion in the column provided. The Hajj portion number is listed on the proof of the initial BPIH deposit as many as 10 digits. Click search and information about the portion of the pilgrimage will be displayed after the page opens.
