Abstract

This study aims to analyse the implementation of hajj health istiţa'ah at the district/city level. Based on Minister of Health Regulation Number 15/2016 concerning the Health istiţa'ah of hajj Pilgrims, the examination and health guidance of hajj pilgrims to meet the hajj health istiţa'ah has been mandated to the District/City hajj health organizing team. Hajj health examination and guidance at the first and second levels is not only the responsibility of individual prospective pilgrims, but also the government and the community. This study collected and analysed data using a qualitative legal approachh. The findings of this study identified both supporting and inhibiting factors affecting the implementation of hajj health istiţa'ah provisions. These factors are primarily associated with the absence of regulations at the regency/city level governing the organization of the Hajj. Most local governments have enacted regional regulations pertaining solely to Hajj transportation. In contrast, the security system for the Hajj in these areas relies solely on the technical guidelines provided by Permenkes No. 15/2016. This study highlights the critical need to enhance Hajj health istiţa'ah regulations by establishing district/city-level regulations.
