PREVENTION PROTECTION OF PROSPECTIVE HAJJ PILGRIMS THROUGH THE OPERATIONAL LICENSES IN THE GUIDELINES KBIH (HAJJ GUIDANCE GROUP)

Abstract

Providing Hajj services requires a valid operational permit. Control of operational permits for
the KBIH (Hajj Guidance Group) is delegated to the Head of the Regional Office of the
Ministry of Religion. In fact, there is often abuse of authority by KBIH which actually harms
the community who perform worship at this time. Hence, this study aims to analyse the efforts
to protect prospective pilgrims through an operational permit on KBIH. This study was
compiled by using a normative juridical method supported by two approaches namely the
statute and the conceptual approach. The results showed that the legal relationship between
KBIH and the Government related to the implementation of Hajj has been regulated in Law
Number 13 of 2003. In granting operational licenses to KBIH, the Regional Office of Religion
has provided many procedures that must be fulfilled. Thus, the law enforcement protects
prospective pilgrims delegated entirely to the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion
which has the right to exercise control in the form of supervision and control of KBIH. The
study concluded that KBIH operational permits related to public services have been regulated
in accordance with the applicable laws so, if there are irregularities they will be immediately
resolved legally.
