<![CDATA[This article examines the implementation of Law No. 8 of 2019 on Hajj and Umrah in the context of the 2024 Hajj quota corruption scandal. Employing a normative-empirical juridical approach, it analyzes statutory provisions, legislative intent, and empirical data from official reports and KPK investigations. The study identifies three critical vulnerabilities: discretionary ambiguity in ministerial quota allocation, institutional conflicts of interest undermining internal oversight, and procedural manipulations in payment deadlines that enabled market-based resale of Hajj slots. Findings reveal that these systemic failures facilitated a structured corruption network, resulting in state losses exceeding IDR 1 trillion and eroding public trust in Hajj governance. The article argues that Law No. 8/2019, despite its ideals of transparency, accountability, and justice, contains regulatory loopholes that were exploited. It concludes with targeted recommendations for legal amendment, institutional restructuring to separate regulatory and operational functions, and establishment of an independent supervisory commission to safeguard Hajj administration integrity.]]>
