How should women arrange their الصلوات during الحج at the various sites?

Women are obligated to perform all the الصلوات during الحج just as men are, with the same timings, combinations, and shortening that apply to all الحجاج at the الحج sites. At عرفة, women combine and shorten Dhuhr and Asr. At مزدلفة, they combine and shorten Maghrib and Isha. At منى, they shorten the الصلوات but do not combine them. The only women exempted from الصلاة are those who are menstruating or experiencing post-natal bleeding.

الشيخ ابن باز emphasized that women should pray with the congregation when possible, standing in rows behind the men as is the السنة. If the crowd is too dense or there is no separate women's section, women may pray in their tents or designated areas. He stated that a woman's الصلاة is valid whether performed in congregation or individually, but congregation is preferred when accessible and safe.

Sheikh الفوزان noted that women at the الحج sites should establish الصلاة on time and not neglect it due to the busy schedule of rites. He mentioned that some women miss الصلوات during the movement between sites, which is imجائز. Women should plan their movements to accommodate الصلاة times. If necessary, they may pray on the ground wherever they are, as the entire earth has been made a place of الصلاة. They should have a clean garment or الصلاة mat with them at all times during the الحج journey.
