Women may combine সালাতs during হজ্জ exactly as men do. At আরাফাত, women combine Dhuhr and Asr (jam taqdim), and at মুযদালিফা they combine Maghrib and Isha (jam ta'khir). Women who are traveling may also shorten four-rak'ah সালাতs to two. There is no difference between men and women in this ruling, as the concession applies to all হাজীগণ.
Women are permitted to combine and shorten সালাতs during হজ্জ in exactly the same manner as men. There is no distinction between men and women regarding the concessions of combining (jam) and shortening (qasr) সালাতs during travel and at the specific হজ্জ sites. All scholars agree that the rulings of combining সালাতs at আরাফাত and মুযদালিফা apply equally to women.
At আরাফাত, all হাজীগণ — men and women — combine Dhuhr and Asr সালাতs at the time of Dhuhr (jam taqdim), shortening each to two rak'ahs. At মুযদালিফা, they combine Maghrib and Isha at the time of Isha (jam ta'khir), with Isha shortened to two rak'ahs. Sheikh Ibn Baz confirmed that these concessions are Sunnah and apply to every হাজী regardless of gender.
Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen further clarified that women who are traveling for হজ্জ may shorten the four-rak'ah সালাতs (Dhuhr, Asr, and Isha) to two rak'ahs throughout their journey, just as male travelers do. The shortening applies when they are considered travelers, and the combining applies at the specific হজ্জ locations as part of the Sunnah of নবী করীম. Women who are residents of মক্কা মুকাররমা shorten at আরাফাত and মুযদালিফা due to the Sunnah of the rite, not due to travel.
নবী করীম (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) combined Dhuhr and Asr সালাতs at আরাফাত with one adhan and two iqamahs, and he combined Maghrib and Isha at মুযদালিফা with one adhan and two iqamahs.
নবী করীম (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) combined Dhuhr and Asr সালাতs at আরাফাত with one adhan and two iqamahs, and he combined Maghrib and Isha at মুযদালিফা with one adhan and two iqamahs.

Scholars from different schools of Islamic jurisprudence offer varying perspectives on this matter.
The Hanafi school permits combining সালাতs at আরাফাত (Dhuhr and Asr) and মুযদালিফা (Maghrib and Isha) only, as these are specific to the হজ্জ rites. Women follow the same ruling as men at these locations.
Al-Hidayah: combining সালাতs is specific to আরাফাত and মুযদালিফা in হজ্জ.
Women may combine সালাতs during হজ্জ as men do. The Maliki school also permits combining সালাতs during travel for both genders.
Al-Mudawwanah: the concessions of travel and হজ্জ apply to women as they apply to men.
Women are included in all the concessions of combining and shortening সালাতs during travel and at হজ্জ sites, without distinction from men.
Al-Majmu' by al-Nawawi: no scholar distinguished between men and women regarding travel concessions.
Women combine and shorten সালাতs during হজ্জ exactly as men do. This is established by the practice of নবী করীম's wives during হজ্জ.
Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudamah: নবী করীম's wives participated in the same সালাতs at আরাফাত and মুযদালিফা.
