Saudi Arabia changes prayers rule in Riyaz ul Jannah

The administration of the Haramain Sharifain has declared that pilgrims are now permitted to perform Nawafil (optional prayers) in Riyaz ul Jannah throughout the entire year, thereby altering the previous regulation that allowed such prayers only once a year.

The revised policy is designed to enrich the spiritual experience for those visiting Masjid al-Nabawi, facilitating the opportunity for additional prayers at this esteemed site.

Nevertheless, the requirement to secure a permit via the Nusuk mobile application remains in effect.

As per the updates communicated by the administration through their social media platforms, visitors can now generate a new prayer permit every 20 minutes using the Nusuk app, which provides increased flexibility in planning their visits.

The modification will particularly assist those already present at Masjid al-Nabawi, enabling them to more conveniently arrange and acquire permits for performing Nawafil prayers in Riyaz ul Jannah in accordance with the new guidelines.

The alteration is anticipated to offer visitors enhanced opportunities for worship and contemplation in one of the mosque's most sacred areas.
