MAKKAH: The General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque has launched a digital mechanism to organize the Ramadan iftar program for fasting individuals.
Developed in collaboration with the Ehsan National Platform for Charitable Work and the Nusuk Foundation, the system aims to enhance governance, transparency and operational efficiency.
The streamlined process begins with individuals and nonprofit organizations registering on the authority’s official website, followed by secure payment processing through the Ehsan platform.
Once the transaction is confirmed, iftar meal arrangements are finalized, and a formal permit is issued to the donor, ensuring a transparent and documented workflow from start to finish.
Meanwhile a dedicated portal to receive applications to provide iftar meal services inside the Grand Mosque during Ramadan has been launched by The General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque.
The service allows individuals to select one meal site and charitable organizations to apply for up to 10. It also requires the contracting of an authority-approved catering company and adherence to specified terms and conditions.
The authority has emphasized the need to provide low-calorie meals for individuals with chronic diseases and diabetes, making up 20 percent of individual meals and 30 percent of meals provided by charitable organizations.
Applications can be submitted through the authority’s website by visiting https://iam.alharamain.gov.sa/sso and selecting “iftar meal reservation system.”
Ramadan is expected to begin on the evening of either Feb.28 or March 1, depending on moon sighting in Saudi Arabia.
