The Wider Image: Resumption of haj pilgrimage brings joy and sorrow for Indonesians
Yakub, a pet parrot, belonging to Sutrisno, 54, and his wife Sri Wahyuningsih, 51, is loaded into the trunk of a car to be looked after by Sutrisno's son, before they leave for haj, in Jakarta, Indonesia, June 11, 2022. Under the quota system Saudi Arabia uses, the average wait to complete the haj for people in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority country, is 35 years. This year, just over 100,000 Indonesians are making the trip, about half of the usual number, according to the Indonesian religious affairs ministry.
