Question
I shall be going for Umrah. Should I perform Salaat in the Haram or in the hotel?
Answer
While the Salaat of a woman will be valid in the Haram, it is not permissible for women to go to the Haram especially to perform Salaat. Perform Salaat wherever you are staying. However, you have to go to the Haram for Tawaaf. If due to the large crowds you are unable to come out quickly for making Salaat at the hotel, then perform Salaat at a place where there is a concentration of women.
