When can women visit the Rawdah in Madinah?

Asked by Anonymous pilgrim23 Oct 2026Women's travel

In short

With a Rawdah permit booked in the Nusuk app, women visit after Fajr until 11:00 am (9:00 am on Fridays) and after Isha until 2:00 am, according to the schedule announced on 20 October 2026. Times change for Ramadan and Hajj, so go by the slot on your permit.

How women's visits work

  • Permit: book the women's Rawdah permit in the Nusuk app (or use the on-site instant route where it's offered).
  • Women's times (announced 20 October 2026 by the authority that runs the Prophet's Mosque): after Fajr until 11:00 am (9:00 am on Fridays), and after Isha until 2:00 am. Men have separate windows.
  • Times change for Ramadan and the Hajj season — rely on the slot on your permit.
  • Entrance: follow the signs for the women's Rawdah entrance from the women's prayer areas; arrive early.

Tips

  • Keep your permit QR code and ID ready; queues move in groups.
  • Go with a friend or group, and agree where to meet afterwards.
  • If you can't go, cancel in Nusuk so the slot is released.
  • Elderly women or wheelchair users: ask the women staff at the entrance.
