MAKKAH: Registrations for Itikaf 2024 in Prophet’s Mosque and Grand Mosque have begun.
Itikaf 2024
I’tikaf is a spiritual retreat where Muslims focus on prayer, Quran recitation, and meditation. Usually, it is observed during the final ten days of Ramadan, when the Prophet Muhammad PBUH used to withdraw into the mosque.

We have created guides for you to register yourself for Itikaaf;
Rules and Regulations
The General Presidency has emphasized the significance of abiding by Itikaf’s rules and regulations, which forbid leaving the mosque during the retreat period other than for necessities like using the restroom or getting medical care.
These are Itikaf’s ten fundamental rules:
- Itikaf is a religious rite carried out in a mosque during the final 10 days of Ramadan.
- Before entering the mosque, participants must be in a state of purity (wudu or ghusl).
- Except for essential purposes like using the restroom or getting medical attention, participants are required to stay inside the mosque throughout the entirety of the Itikaf.
- Any worldly activities, such as conducting business, interacting with others, or using technology, are not permitted.
- Throughout their visit, participants are required to keep the mosque pristine and sacred.
- Itikaf participants are required to observe the five daily prayers and offer additional, optional prayers.
- Reciting the Quran is encouraged, as well as other forms of worship like dua and dhikr (remembering Allah) (supplication).
- Any conduct that might annoy others, such as shouting or arguing, should be avoided by participants.
- Participants are required to follow all guidelines established by the mosque’s leadership and any applicable governing bodies.
- After the Itikaf period, participants are required to leave the mosque immediately.
Additionally, participants are expected to keep the mosque spotless and to respect its sanctity.
Muslims all over the world have responded to the announcement of Itikaf registration with excitement and anticipation because they view it as a chance to strengthen their spiritual ties during the fasting month of Ramadan.
The General Presidency has urged all participants to abide by Itikaf 2024’s rules and regulations and to respect the mosque’s sanctity while they are on retreat.
The General Presidency is dedicated to upholding the spirit and traditions of this significant religious practice while ensuring the safety and well-being of all participants.

Assalam o Alaikum Aslam, about the Itikaaf in two holy mosques, we will be releasing some more information on this page. As of now, there has not yet been any comment from the ministry, so all we can do is wait. And the process will be automated and people can do that through Nusuk.
Assalamo Alaikum!
JAZAKALLAH Haniya for reply, Allah SWT bless you and make Du,a for all Muslims in the world.

Somewhere I found that the registrations should be done at eservice.gph.gov.sa
However, this website allows only for those who having Absher IDs. But to create an Absher ID you need to a Saudi mobile number.
No clue how to go ahead and register for foreigners like us holding umrah visa. Could that be a different portal? Please guide.
(By the way, already registered in Nusuk app for Umrah permit on 20th Ramadan)

Ramadan Kareem to everyone, and thank you so much Samira for these useful pieces of information about the Itikaf. I am just wondering if the registration process must go through the NUSUK or some other app. I am on my way to Mecca.

Jazak ALLAH Khair for the update for the App “Zaeron” regarding Masjid e Nabvi, which App is being used if I want to register for Makkah Mukarrama because I’m trying from the 5th Ramadan but Nusuk App doesn’t have any option to register for itikaf,
Salams!
Thanks for the information.
As far as I understand, if anyone wants to do itikaf at the mosque for last two asharas, they can do it. Infact it’s open for the whole month. Correct? And it’s better to register first.
Yes, that’s correct! Itikaf at Masjid al-Haram and Masjid al-Nabawi is open for the entire month of Ramadan, including the last two ashrahs. It is recommended to register in advance to secure your spot and make the most of your spiritual experience during this blessed time. Thank you for sharing this valuable information with us.
I have downloaded visitors app for ehtikaaf registration 2024 and registered but it shows that slot full.
Is it actually full. Or yet to be started.
Pls help
I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing difficulties with the ehtikaaf registration for 2024. It seems that the slots may have already been filled, but it’s best to reach out to the administrators of the app or the mosque directly for clarification on the current status. They will be able to provide you with accurate information and guidance on any potential next steps. Thank you for sharing your experience, and I hope you are able to participate in ehtikaaf in the future.
Can I bring my sleeping bag and extra warm comforter to itikaf in masjid e haram. Is it allowed or for they give their own blankets and pillow
Yes, you can bring your own sleeping bag and extra warm comforter to Itikaf in Masjid al-Haram. It is common for individuals to bring their own bedding for added comfort during their stay. However, it’s always a good idea to check with the organizers or authorities at the Masjid for any specific guidelines or restrictions regarding personal belongings. Enjoy your Itikaf experience!
