Makkah Live During Ramadan and Hajj

During Ramadan, the Makkah live stream becomes even more significant as millions tune in to watch the Taraweeh and Qiyam-ul-Layl prayers. The complete Quran is recited over the course of the month, and the spiritual energy of the Haram reaches its peak during the last ten nights, particularly on Laylat al-Qadr.

During the Hajj season (8th to 12th of Dhul Hijjah), the Haram stream shows Tawaf and the congregational prayers at the Grand Mosque, including the Tawaf al-Ifadah, which pilgrims perform from the 10th onward. The rituals outside the Haram, namely the Day of Arafat (9th Dhul Hijjah), the night at Muzdalifah and the stoning of the Jamarat in Mina, are usually carried on separate dedicated broadcasts. Listen to the Hajj Khutbah live in multiple languages.
