Is the Rawdah permit free?

Someone offered to get us a Rawdah permit for a fee. Do we have to pay for the permit?

Marhaba Haji's answer

Written and checked by our team, with dated sources.

In short

Yes. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah lists the Rawdah permit as free, and it is issued straight away in the Nusuk app or website. Never pay anyone for the permit itself. Some services, including ours, charge for help finding and booking slots; that fee is for their time, not the permit.

What is free

  • The permit itself, for every visitor aged 5 and over, booked in Nusuk for a set date and time slot.

What some people charge for

  • Watching for slots when they look full, booking for elderly parents or a group, and briefing you on timing and the entrance.
  • That is a service, not the permit. Ask exactly what the fee covers, and never pay for a permit you cannot see in your own Nusuk account.

Next step: see how Rawdah help works, or book the free permit yourself with our step-by-step guide.
