About Mahajja

Mahajja is an offline-first Hajj companion grounded in mainstream Sunni Islam. Every ritual step, every recommended du'a, and every ruling on common mistakes is provided so that a pilgrim has a complete reference in their pocket — even when the Saudi cellular networks collapse under the strain of two million pilgrims, and even when there is no connection at all.

Tradition lock

Sunni Islam. The four madhāhib are presented neutrally by default — Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali — with their differences noted inline where they exist. You may pin one in Settings.

What this app is — and is not

Mahajja is a study aid, not a fatwa. It compiles the rites in their normal form and lays out the rulings on common slip-ups. It cannot account for every personal circumstance — for unusual situations, please consult a qualified Sunni scholar in person or by phone. Saudi authorities maintain a free fatwa line at +966 11 4915555.

Privacy

Mahajja collects nothing. No accounts, no servers, no telemetry, no cookies. Your checklist progress, language preference, and madhhab choice are stored locally on your device only. The Qibla compass uses your location only on your device — no coordinates ever leave it. Full details on the privacy page.

Offline

Once Mahajja loads in your browser, the entire app is cached and works without internet for the rest of your Hajj. Install it to your home screen ("Add to Home Screen" on iOS, "Install App" on Android) so it opens like a native app.

Corrections

If you find a content error, a typo in Arabic, or a ruling that doesn't match a credible Sunni source, please report it to admin@mahajja.com. We treat such reports as priority work and aim to fix them within 24 hours.

Mahajja is built with sincere intention as a service (khidmah) to the hajjis of every nation. Allāhumma taqabbal minnā wa-minkum.
