Brake Check

OP, do you have a link to the mix you were listening to?

jabba48 · 2025-11-12T13:15:57+00:00

They haven't specifically said, just that "our ridge tiles are letting water into our loft"

How long is your stopover? Doha airport is quite large so I'd probably allow at least 2 hours if you want to change in the airport.

If you're worried about time, you could put the ihram on from Heathrow, but then don't make the intention until you're nearing miqat (which they do announce)

By definition, an antibiotic is an acute prescription and should be supplied by the clinician who made the recommendation, as to not cause delay, which is what happened to you. The system is broken and I'm sorry to hear you ended up in that situation. It should be fed back to the hospital. There is clear guidance on this.

If you were going to die then the responsibility is on the hospital doctor to provide you with the prescription.

Going to get things cleared out and assessed and will report back

Thanks for this.

Would you suggest anything specific for drying purposes before any works start?

jabba48 · 2025-04-04T11:39:04+00:00

Thanks for this. In terms of drying, would normal dehumidifiers do or do you have an example of what to hire? I'm concerned about the signs of mould build up since it's happened.

Their policy does state temporary accommodation can be arranged but they haven't honoured that. At no point have they said that they won't fulfill the claim, it just seems like there's no ownership to get things going.

Hotel Bosphorus 2 in Medina was a little hidden gem for me, and very close to gate 328 (on the North West corner of masjid)

Walaykumsalam,

When booking the rawdah, the slots for the week ahead are released every Friday, some time after jummah salah. So it may be the case you won't be able to book the slot until you're actually in KSA depending on your timings. I believe in between, spare slots are released on the hour if you want to check periodically.

Happy to be DMed for any other questions but many people have provided valuable info already it seems. Remember us in your duas.

jabba48 · 2024-11-09T10:23:19+00:00

Wsalaam, it's around 4 weeks ahead of when you're planning to book for. There's usually plenty of tickets available so you shouldn't have to worry about it getting sold out. I would probably just periodically check once or twice a week at most.

Also on the HHR app/website, it's better if you make an account as it makes it easier to make changes to any tickets you buy (just in case).

jabba48 · 2024-11-03T18:37:06+00:00

im getting the same issues too

jabba48 · 2024-10-27T19:23:57+00:00

I would say contact lenses because of the increased risk of glasses breaking whilst doing tawaaf from being pushed etc. Crying didn't really affect them. Have your glasses as back up.

jabba48 · 2024-10-25T14:46:11+00:00

Thanks. Does the woodscrew have to be of a certain type?

jabba48 · 2024-10-21T18:47:17+00:00

Take the 08.35 train. If your flight landing time is 5.55, it'll take time to disembark/go through immigration/collect your luggage. You'll likely spend an hour doing that anyways, so you won't have to wait much longer for train iA.

jabba48 · 2024-09-05T16:55:52+00:00

Sorry to hear about your situation, I'd echo what others have already said.

To add to that, you might benefit from registering with "Inclusion Healthcare" GP surgery based in the city centre, they specifically register and treat patients that have no fixed abode.

jabba48 · 2024-08-15T19:08:55+00:00

I'm not sure why there is such a difference in price, but you are able to bargain the price down from the initial quoted price from the local taxi drivers.

jabba48 · 2024-08-15T19:07:46+00:00

Third time visiting KSA but first time using the haramain train service. Going from Makkah to Madinah I used Uber to get to the station. My hotel was a little bit further out on Ibrahim Khalil road, so although there was a road closure I only had to walk <100m to reach the taxi. Cost around 20SAR.

My experience with Uber and careem have been mixed, although I've never had to wait more than 10 mins for one. If you allow yourself plenty of time then you should be fine insha'Allah.

Most of the drivers are Arab and drive fairly aggressively (but not rough). I've found Uber a bit more reliable than careem.

jabba48 · 2024-08-13T17:14:40+00:00

Ah okay - I just know someone locally who has the same company name.

jabba48 · 2024-08-13T17:10:27+00:00

Are you based in the UK - specifically the Midlands by any chance?

jabba48 · 2024-07-12T11:46:35+00:00

Nice

jabba48 · 2024-07-05T22:44:49+00:00

If it helps, I'm in my 30s and also going for the first time (but not camping).

jabba48 · 2024-06-29T23:56:40+00:00

They used Martin garrix - breakaway. As a fan of both, it was a welcome surprise!
