Qasidah Center Guides Female Visitors at Grand Mosque

Female visitors to the Grand Mosque in Makkah can access dedicated religious guidance through the Qasidah Center, which is staffed by qualified female specialists who answer questions and provide instruction inside the mosque and its women’s prayer areas.

The center covers a wide range of services, including responses to inquiries about worship and rituals, religious instruction, Qur’anic lessons, scholarly lessons, and guidance materials. The service is presented as free of charge, with no reported fees.

no electronic booking or permit is required to benefit from the guidance, which is provided directly during a visitor’s presence at the Grand Mosque. Specific counter locations, operating hours, and access procedures for the Qasidah Center were not stated, though visitor-care centers at the Grand Mosque operate around the clock throughout the year.

The reach of these programs is significant. Women’s religious programs at the Grand Mosque, including answers to inquiries, benefited 469,750 female visitors during January 2026 alone.

For the many residents and pilgrims traveling from Riyadh, Jeddah, and elsewhere in the Kingdom, the center offers a convenient way for women to receive trusted religious answers on-site, without needing prior appointments or additional costs, making the visit smoother and more spiritually enriching.
