Is a woman who vowed to perform Umrah if a certain matter materializes, and that matter has indeed materialized, obliged to perform Umrah, despite the existence of another opinion stating that praying Fajr, then sitting to remember Allah until sunrise, and then praying two rakahs, suffices for Umrah, knowing that she is physically and financially capable?
Since the woman is physically and financially capable, she is obligated to fulfill her vow and perform 'Umrah. Sitting in the prayer area after Fajr and performing two rak'ahs does not absolve her from the vowed 'Umrah, because the reward for that is a recompense, not a substitute.
