Objectives

The Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia Project For Utilization Of Hady & Adahi (Adahi) is one of the Kingdom’s major national initiatives. It aims to facilitate the performance of Hady, Udhiyah, and Fidyah, as well as Sadaqah and Aqiqah, for the guests of Allah—including pilgrims, Umrah performers, and visitors to Makkah—throughout the year.

This project is aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which seeks to foster integration between government, private, and non-profit sectors to deliver the highest level of services to the Guests of Allah. The project is implemented by the Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites, in cooperation with relevant government entities, to ensure that pilgrims enjoy a rich and seamless experience. This contributes to solidifying the Kingdom’s global leadership in managing the rituals of Hajj and Umrah.

Management and implementation
The RCMC oversees the management and implementation of all Project operations through outstanding partnerships with the public and private sectors, as well as with the tertiary sector.
Operation Complexes
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Project for Utilization of Hady and Adahi operates seven integrated processing complexes in Makkah, dedicated to carrying out Hady and Adahi rituals in accordance with the highest Shariah, health, and operational standards. The rituals are performed through a fully integrated operational system based on authorized delegation, whereby the project undertakes all procedures on behalf of the beneficiary, starting from voucher issuance through slaughtering, processing, cooling, packaging, transportation, and distribution to eligible beneficiaries inside and outside the Kingdom, in line with precise operational mechanisms that ensure efficiency and procedural integrity. Operations are supervised by specialized teams, as well as Shariah, veterinary, and technical committees, to ensure compliance with approved religious and health regulations, contributing to the delivery of a reliable and safe service to the Guests of Allah.
​​Procurement of Livestock
The Project enters into agreements with leading sheep suppliers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The massive numbers of sheep contracted for the Hajj season (1,200,000 heads) enable the Project to obtain competitive prices not available in the local market, in addition to other advantages in terms of weight and quality
​​Prices
The coupon prices charged cover the costs of veterinary checks, Sharia checks, execution, processing, freezing, packaging, internal and external transportation, and distribution.
