### Registration Slots

Registration for Itikaf in Masjid al-Haram opens during specific hours in Ramadan. It's crucial to monitor the opening times closely, as registration slots fill up rapidly.

### **Select I'tikaf Servic**e

Within the application, navigate to the "My Services" section. Look for the option related to Itikaf Services.

### **Submit Application**

Recheck every detail you entered and then click submit.

### **Confirmation and QR Code**

After submitting your application, wait for confirmation. If your application is successful, you'll receive confirmation within the application.
