Female pilgrims are encouraged to follow specific practices in prayer areas. These include wearing modest Islamic clothing, cooperating with staff, refraining from sleeping or sitting on the floor, and ensuring proper alignment in prayer rows.

Additional recommendations highlight the importance of cleanliness, avoiding eating and drinking in prayer areas, keeping noise levels to a minimum, and avoiding stepping on carpets while wearing shoes. Pilgrims are also advised to protect their belongings and not leave them unattended.
