The cost of Hajj can vary depending on various factors such as the country of departure, the mode of travel, the type of accommodation, and the duration of the stay. However, the average cost of Hajj can be between R50,000 to R80,000 or more.

Assuming an average cost of R65,000 for the Hajj pilgrimage, if you save R1000 per month, it will take approximately 65 months or 5 years and 5 months to save up for the pilgrimage. However, it is important to keep in mind that the cost of Hajj may increase over time due to inflation and other factors. Therefore, it is advisable to plan ahead and to save regularly, taking into account any possible increases in the cost of the pilgrimage. You may also want to consider alternative funding options such as Islamic financing or crowdfunding to help you achieve your goal of performing Hajj.
