But in 2026, one rule is indisputable: <strong>Entry will be refused without a digital permit reserved in advance on the Nusuk app.<\/strong> \u2014 The agents scan your QR code at the gate. This is the number one mistake French-speaking visitors make: they plan the entire trip\u2026 except for the time slot. Here&#039;s how to do it, step by step, in sha Allah.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key takeaway (30 seconds)<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Rawdah permit is <strong>mandatory AND free<\/strong>, only via <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nusuk.sa\">Nusuk<\/a><\/strong>.

It is recognized today by its <strong>green carpet<\/strong>, separate from the rest of the Prophet&#039;s Mosque. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, in a hadith narrated by al-Bukhari, that the space between his dwelling and his minbar is <strong>one of the gardens of Paradise<\/strong>. This explains the immense crowds who come to pray there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because this space is <strong>little<\/strong> and that of <strong>millions<\/strong> Since many believers visit Medina each year, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has established a simple rule: <strong>Do not enter without a permit<\/strong>, issued via the Nusuk app. Security checks the QR code at the entrance. No one can let you in &quot;without a permit&quot; \u2014 don&#039;t think otherwise.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to book, step by step<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow approximately 5 minutes once your account is ready. <strong>Do it from home, before you leave.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Download the Nusuk app<\/strong> (the official app of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah) <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.moh.nusukapp\"><strong>Android (Google Play)<\/strong><\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/id6469515422\"><strong>iPhone (App Store)<\/strong><\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nusuk.sa\"><strong>official website nusuk.sa<\/strong><\/a>.

(Tip: Don&#039;t delay, do it the same day.)<\/li>\n<li>On the homepage, open the section <strong>\u00ab&quot;Services of the Prophet&#039;s Mosque&quot;\u00bb<\/strong> (Prophet&#039;s Mosque Services).<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong>\u00ab&quot;Rawdah Permit - Men&quot;\u00bb<\/strong> Or <strong>\u00ab&quot;Rawdah Permit - Women&quot;\u00bb<\/strong> depending on your gender. Important: the men&#039;s and women&#039;s sessions are at completely different times, and a permit obtained under the wrong option can be invalidated. <strong>will not work<\/strong> at the door.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check your name<\/strong> ; if relatives are linked to your account as companions, check them as well, then continue.<\/li>\n<li>THE <strong>calendar<\/strong> appears: choose one <strong>green date<\/strong> (available) and a <strong>30-minute slot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accepts the conditions<\/strong> (box \u00abinstructions\u00bb), then <strong>generates and captures a photo of the QR code<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>D-Day, <strong>present your QR<\/strong> at the indicated door, during your allotted time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The rules that really matter<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Book before you arrive \u2014 really.<\/strong> The slots are filling up. <strong>in a few seconds<\/strong>. New lots are opening up <strong>usually on Friday afternoon (Saudi time)<\/strong> for the coming week, and of <strong>small batches every 30 minutes<\/strong> during the day. The best strategy: open the app <strong>several times a day<\/strong>, especially on Friday PM. If you wait until you&#039;ve landed, the dates will already be &quot;red&quot;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Men and women: separate entrances and gates.<\/strong> THE <strong>men<\/strong> usually enter from <strong>end of night into the early morning<\/strong> (often by the <strong>door 37<\/strong>, (or Bab as-Salam). The <strong>women<\/strong> have <strong>two windows<\/strong>, early in the morning and late at night (often <strong>door 25<\/strong>, (Bab Uthman ibn Affan). The exact times <strong>change<\/strong> : it&#039;s always <strong>the time written on your Nusuk license<\/strong> which is authoritative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Children.<\/strong> THE <strong>Babies and very young children are not allowed.<\/strong> in the Rawdah. Starting from <strong>5 years<\/strong>, The child needs <strong>his own license<\/strong>, to be booked as for an adult.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Frequency.<\/strong> As a general rule, one can obtain <strong>a permit every 365 days<\/strong>. A <strong>Limited instant access<\/strong> can sometimes appear when one is <strong>physically near the mosque<\/strong>, but don&#039;t bet on it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On site.<\/strong> <strong>Arrive 30 minutes early<\/strong> Your time slot.
