Along with the Halal Product Organizing Agency, this agency is the result of a spin-off of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.[2] Previously, hajj organizing affairs were the responsibility of the Directorate General of Hajj and Umrah. Still, since the spin-off, the Directorate General of Hajj and Umrah exists but has transformed into technical policing and standardization for Hajj affairs, not organizing Hajj.[2]
