The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority, in collaboration with the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, has announced the launch of a service that allows overseas pilgrims to apply for Umrah and prayer permits in the Grand Mosque, as well as prayer at Rawdah at the Prophet’s Mosque.
The service will be available via the Eatmarna and Tawakkalna applications after registering on the Quddum platform, according to the government. All users have been encouraged to update their apps by the ministry and the authorities.
The Ministry of Interior said on October 16 that limitations across the Kingdom, including those affecting the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, would be eased, allowing full operations and capacity to resume.
