Ramadan 2025: Portal Launched for Iftar Meal Applications at Grand Mosque

IQNA – The General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque has introduced an online portal to streamline applications for providing iftar meal services inside the Grand Mosque during the holy month of Ramadan.

The system enables individuals to reserve one meal distribution site, while charitable organizations can apply for up to ten sites, Arab News reported on Friday.

Applicants are required to partner with catering companies approved by the authority and adhere to a set of established guidelines and conditions.

The authority has highlighted the need to offer low-calorie meals tailored for people with chronic illnesses and diabetes. These meals should constitute 20 percent of the meals distributed by individuals and 30 percent of those provided by charitable organizations.

Applications can be submitted through the authority’s official website by visiting iam.alharamain.gov.sa/sso and selecting the “iftar meal reservation system” option.

Ramadan, a significant month in the Islamic calendar marked by fasting and communal prayer, is anticipated to begin on February 28 or March 1 in Saudi Arabia, contingent upon the moon sighting.
