Kozhikode: The Kerala State Haj Committee has sought more clarity from the Centre on the allocation of Haj subsidies as part of the Haj Policy 2012.
It also welcomed the Centre's move to give more people the chance to go to Haj by limiting the government subsidy to once in a lifetime.
"According to Islam every Muslim is expected to perform Hajj once in a lifetime. So it is perfectly fine to limit government subsidy to just once. The decision to give priority to those who are in the 70-plus age category and restrictions on official Haj delegations are also welcome," said committee chairman P T A Rahim said.
He however said the exact allocation of Haj subsidy remains unclear.
