Saudi Arabia has said that visiting Al Rawda Al Sharifa at the Prophet’s Mosque, Islam’s second holiest site, is permitted for a Muslim once a year.
The kingdom’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said a visit permit to the revered place is issued every 365 days.
“A would-be beneficiary can book a permit for Al Rawda Al Sharifa after 365 days from his/her last permit,” the Saudi ministry said, reports Gulf News.
The ministry also pointed out that the visit permit should be issued electronically via the Nusuk or Tawakklna apps, provided the applicant is not infected with COVID-19 and has not mingled with the patients.
The Prophet’s Mosque in Medina houses Al Rawda Al Sharifa where the tomb of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is located.
Muslim worshippers wishing to visit and pray in Al Rawda Al Sharifa must get an official permit before arrival.
