... that Nusuk was used by Hajj 2023 applicants from 57 countries after Saudi Arabia replaced a lottery process with priority-based selection?
Source: Al Jazeera says pilgrims from Europe, Australia and the Americas were chosen "based on priority" for Hajj 2023, and that Nusuk was used for applicants from 57 countries.
ALT1: ... that Nusuk, a Saudi pilgrimage app launched in 2022, surpassed 51 million users worldwide by March 2026? Source: Saudi Gazette reported that the Minister of Hajj and Umrah announced in March 2026 that Nusuk had surpassed 51 million users worldwide.
ALT2: ... that after Saudi Arabia moved away from lottery-based selection for Hajj 2023, applicants from 57 countries used Nusuk to seek a place on the pilgrimage?
Source: Al Jazeera says Saudi Arabia used a lottery system for Hajj 2022, while pilgrims from Europe, Australia and the Americas were chosen "based on priority" for Hajj 2023, and that Nusuk was used for applicants from 57 countries to select Hajj packages and payment options.

Comment: Special occasion request: please hold for 26 May 2026, the expected Day of Arafah / 9 Dhul Hijjah 1447 AH, if approved in time.

Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has fewer than 5 past nominations.
This was only approved a few days before the date request; but there a few issues with the hook, so I'm afraid this can't be run in time. ALT0 is written fairly confusingly, it doesn't really make clear what the app does or what the lottery/priority system is for non-Muslims, and ALT1 was not approved. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 22:41, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the note. I agree ALT0 can be clearer. Would this version address the concern?
ALT2: ... that after Saudi Arabia moved away from lottery-based selection for Hajj 2023, applicants from 57 countries used Nusuk to apply for Hajj packages?
By "Hajj package", I meant the service package applicants choose for the pilgrimage, usually covering arrangements such as accommodation, transport and related Hajj services. I agree that wording may not be clear enough for a general reader, so I have updated ALT2 to avoid that term. Umais🗣18:38, 27 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
