When I tried to create an account, the App did not take my US phone number.
Does the App allow create account from USA?
Hi Mohammad, it seems that the app may have restrictions on registering with a US phone number. You may want to reach out to the app’s customer support for assistance or clarification on whether accounts can be created from the USA. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention, and I hope you are able to resolve it soon.
Each time I go on it says registration is suspended what times can we login to get access?
Hi Sarah, it seems like the registration for Itikaf in Masjid al-Haram is currently suspended. It’s possible that the times for access may vary, so it’s a good idea to keep checking the website or app at different times to see if registration opens up. Hopefully, you’ll be able to secure your slot for Itikaf soon.

Karena daftar nya harus memakai no hp saudi. Alhamdulillah sy berhasil daftar utk suami sy pake nomer saudi teman sy.
Tp sy ga tau bagaimana cara konfirmasi dari masjidil harom bhwa suami diterima
They only take Saudi telephone no. and they will send code to that number to complete the account creation. That’s mean No one outside Saudi Arabia can create account. I sent email to their customer service, but no response yet.
I tried reserving a slot but it said that maximum limit is reached. Is this message correct? Is this from last year? Can you tell if registration for this year is started or not. Thanks
It has started.
Dear Zahra
I have created the account on zaeron but itikaf registration says: the maximum registration limit has been reached, is it not open yet, or is it full already, i have been trying from first ramadan, do you know when will it open? inshaAllah
Dear Bushra,
I understand your frustration with trying to register for Itikaf in Masjid al-Haram through the Zaeron platform. It seems that the maximum registration limit has already been reached, which may explain why you are unable to secure a slot. It is possible that the registration is either not open yet or that all slots have been filled for this year. Unfortunately, I do not have specific information on when the registration will open again. I recommend keeping an eye on the official website or reaching out to the relevant authorities for updates. InshaAllah, you will be able to participate in Itikaf at Masjid al-Haram soon. Stay patient and persistent in your efforts.
Best regards.
