Is it permissible for a woman to pray in the Rawdah Sharifah in the Prophet's Mosque?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is permitted to pray in any part of the Prophet's Mosque, provided she does not crowd men; otherwise, she should not. The entire Prophet's Mosque holds the same virtue in reward, including the expansions, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "A prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers in any other mosque, except for al-Masjid al-."
