Makkah, June 4, 2025 (APP) : The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Hady and Adahi Project has announced full operational readiness for the 1446H Hajj season. This year, millions of pilgrims will benefit from a combination of Sharia-compliant procedures, advanced technologies and organizational expertise. Additionally, sacrificial meat will be distributed across 27 countries worldwide.
According to a spokesperson for the Adahi Project, preparations have been finalized at seven designated centers, collectively covering an area exceeding 1 million square meters. The system has been designed to facilitate the slaughter of over one million animals within just 84 hours. More than 25,000 professionals will participate in the process, including over 600 Sharia scholars, 500+ veterinary doctors, 16,500 butchers and support staff, and 400 technical experts.
The spokesperson further stated that this year’s operations incorporate advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence-based counting systems, automated weighing machines, comprehensive meat monitoring systems, and real-time refrigerator tracking. The speed of operations has reached an impressive rate of one animal every seven seconds. So far, over 770,000 animals have been received, surpassing the original target of 750,000.
During Hajj, meat will be distributed within the Makkah region to support official Hajj missions, charitable organizations, and pilgrims. After Hajj, distribution will extend throughout the Kingdom, especially in areas surrounding the Two Holy Mosques, and internationally across 27 countries.
This year’s project also features strategic partnerships with several public and private entities, including the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah’s “Nusuk” platform, Saudia Airlines, Sirab Holding, OneCard, and the “Jahez” app.
Pilgrims have also been provided with online sacrifice services available in three languages, ensuring Muslims worldwide can fulfill this religious duty safely and conveniently.
According to Adahi officials, the project’s mission extends beyond religious facilitation to promoting global food security, humanitarian efforts, and the spirit of Islamic solidarity.
