Since 1983, IDB has been assigned by the Government of KSA as the sole operator of Adahi, an environment-friendly project that secures the cleanliness of the holy places. Adahi facilitates the performance of Hajj rituals for pilgrims by providing hygienically healthy livestock in accordance with all shari’ah requirements.
By Royal Decree, IDB also has the sole exclusive right to sell all types of Adahi coupons. These coupons can be purchased by individuals or Hajj missions at www.adahi.org or through registered and reliable sellers at numerous points of sale in the holy places. A special Adahi team follows up the performance of the rituals for every purchased coupon within the expected shari’ah-compatible time and the coupon owner is informed about the issue via SMS or email.
“The follow up reports on the performance of the rituals are available online around the clock,” Dr Ali said. “The Adahi coupons may also be purchased at all post offices, all over the KSA or in Makkah through all the branches of the Al Rajhi Bank, Mobily offices, the Safe Services Systems Company, or via the Hadiyyat el Haaj wal Mutamir Company.”
Dr Ali underlined that during its 34 years of service history, Adahi has facilitated the performance of Hajj rites for pilgrims by saving them the burden of finding livestock that meets all shari’ah and health standards. Prior to entering the facilities, animals are screened by 670 veterinarians and 700 shari’ah scholars to ensure full compliance of the processes with the required standards.
Adahi distributes the Hajj meat among the needy at the Holy Mosque and adjacent areas as well as in other parts in the Kingdom through charity organisations. Surplus meat is distributed among needy people in 23 countries around the world.
Coupons for 2016 (1437) cost SR460, US$122 or 110 Euros (prices may fluctuate depending on the exchange rate).
