Women performing salaah in the Haram

· 17 Rabiʻ II 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

When a women visits Makkah and Madina, would it be better for her 2 spend most of her time in the Haram and perform her salaahs behind the imaam OR should she only visit the Haram when she intends to make tawaaf and stay in her room majority of the time?

Answer

Visit the Haram at the time of tawaaf and perform your salaah at your residence. When this was recommended to the women in the time of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) then this would obviously be the recommendation for the women of this time, in fact even more due to the fitnah and corruption.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
