How should women arrange their shalat during Haji at the various sites?

Women are obligated to perform all the shalat during Haji just as men are, with the same timings, combinations, and shortening that apply to all jamaah haji at the Haji sites. At Arafah, women combine and shorten Dhuhr and Asr. At Muzdalifah, they combine and shorten Maghrib and Isha. At Mina, they shorten the shalat but do not combine them. The only women exempted from shalat are those who are menstruating or experiencing post-natal bleeding.

Sheikh Ibn Baz emphasized that women should pray with the congregation when possible, standing in rows behind the men as is the Sunnah. 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 shalat is valid whether performed in congregation or individually, but congregation is preferred when accessible and safe.

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