Neither men nor women are obligated to remain in the prayer area. However, whoever desires the reward of a complete Hajj and , as mentioned in the , should sit in their prayer area after performing the Fajr prayer in congregation, remembering Allah until the sun rises, then pray two rak'ahs. They should not leave except for a necessity, then return. Scholars have differed on whether this reward includes women; some said yes, due to the generality of the Hadith, while others restricted it to men.
