The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia confirmed that it is necessary to reserve a permit to pray in the Rawdah Al-Sharifa in the Prophet’s Mosque (Madina Al-Munawwarah), stating that the health status must be 'Immune' in the “Tawakkalna” application.
The Hajj Ministry further explained that the duration of stay in the Rawdah Al-Sharifa is 10 minutes and noted that yesterday, 10,458 permits were issued for praying in this area.
- Earlier this year, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah clarified that repeating Umrah is only possible after 10 days of the issued permit. It includes both local and international pilgrims. It is due to the application of precautionary measures in the Two Holy Mosques. Similar: No need of permit to perform prayer in Prophet's Mosque
