This is a step-by-step guide on how to register for I’tikaf in Masjid al-Haram.

As Ramadan 2024 is approaching individuals are looking forward to performing Umrah and I’tikaf in the last 10 days of Ramadan in the Holy place of Masjid al-Haram.

Steps to Register For Itikaf in Masjid al-Haram

For those intending to perform Itikaf in Masjid-al-Haram, here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth registration process:

Total Time: 1 hour

  1. Install زائرون App

    Install “زائرون” app on your smartphone. For Android, you can visit this link, and for iPhone (iOS) you can visit this link.

  2. Apply Online

    Using the application, create your account. You will need to provide your visa number during the account creation process.

  3. 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.

  4. Select I’tikaf Service

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

  5. Submit Application

    Recheck every detail you entered and then click submit.

  6. Confirmation and QR Code

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

  7. Itikaf Card

    Upon reaching Makkah, visit the designated counter in the middle of Ramadan to collect your Itikaf card. This card is primarily for accessing lockers, which are limited in number.

  • Keep in mind that registration for Makkah Itikaf is not mandatory.
  • Women can also apply for Itikaf online, although approval may vary. Alternatively, they can perform Itikaf without online registration in Makkah.

  • 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.

        • 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.

    • I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble creating a new account for Itikaf registration. It sounds like there may be a technical issue with the phone number field. Have you tried reaching out to the support team for assistance? They may be able to help troubleshoot the problem and ensure that you are able to complete the registration process successfully. Don't hesitate to seek help so that you can secure your slot for performing Itikaf in Masjid al-Haram.

    • 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

  • 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.

  • Is there any possibility for women to set for itikaf without appointment in Masjid al haram makkah , if yes could you please guide us.
