Quick Summary & Direct Answer

Nusuk limits how often one person can book the Rawdah, with a waiting period between permits. The length of that period has changed more than once, so check the current rule inside the app. If you cannot attend, cancel your slot in Nusuk so it goes to someone else; a missed slot without cancelling may affect future bookings. Plan your one visit carefully rather than counting on a second.

Essential Takeaways at a Glance
  • There is a waiting period between Rawdah permits — check the current length in Nusuk.
  • Cancel in the app if you cannot attend.
  • Treat your visit as a single, well-planned opportunity.
  • You can still pray elsewhere in Masjid an-Nabawi at any time.
Pilgrim Pro Tip: Prepare your duas in advance

Because a second visit is not guaranteed, write down the duas and names you want to remember before your slot.

The waiting period

To share limited space fairly, Nusuk restricts repeat permits for the same person. The waiting period is set by the authorities and has been adjusted over time, so the app is the only reliable source.

Cancelling or missing a slot

Cancel through Nusuk as early as possible if plans change. Arriving late can mean losing the slot, so leave your hotel well before the time shown.
