ChatGPT's draft letter to relevant authorities empathizing on steps they can take:
QUOTE
Subject: Addressing Excessive Fees in Hajj Pilgrimage
Dear [Recipient's Name],
I am writing to bring your attention to the pressing issue of excessive fees charged by private groups for the Hajj pilgrimage. This matter requires immediate action from the government to ensure that this important religious obligation remains accessible to all eligible individuals.
The current situation leaves pilgrims with limited options, forcing them to pay exorbitant amounts to private groups or navigate challenging government quotas.
To address this issue, I propose the following solutions:
1. Regulate the Bidding Process: Implement a fair and transparent bidding process to prevent private groups from charging excessive fees. Set a maximum allowable markup percentage above actual costs.
2. Price Cap: Establish a maximum price limit for the pilgrimage, considering the average income levels of prospective pilgrims. This would prevent exploitation and financial strain.
3. Increase Government Quotas: Enhance government quotas to accommodate a larger number of individuals, providing more options and reducing reliance on private groups.
4. Strengthen Monitoring and Enforcement: Create a dedicated regulatory body to monitor fees charged by private groups and ensure compliance with regulations. Enforce penalties for those found guilty of charging excessive fees.
By taking prompt action, we can alleviate the financial burden faced by individuals aspiring to fulfill their religious duty. Upholding principles of fairness and accessibility will contribute to a more inclusive environment for the Hajj pilgrimage.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Your decisive steps toward resolving this concern will be highly appreciated by the Muslim community.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
