Al-Anbat-- Raghad Zahran

The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Omrah announced that women cannot reserve a permit to visit the tomb of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, through the "Etamarna” application, as the visit is limited to men only, while women can reserve a permit to visit the honorable "Rawadah" in the Prophet’s Mosque.

It emphasized that with regard to visiting the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and praying in the honorable "Rawdah", the period between each permit should not be less than 30 days.

It revealed that there are no dates for the imposed prayers in the Prophet’s Mosque, with regard to prayer times in the honorable "Rawdah" and the visit of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, so the "Etamarna" application is constantly monitored for reservations as available.

It emphasized that the permit is required to be issued from the "Etamarna” application, and that the beneficiary’s data is updated in "Absher" system, with the requirement that the status "immune" appears in the "Tawakkalna" application.
