What is the ruling on performing voluntary prayers during official working hours?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions

Is it permissible for a woman to wear underwear while performing Umrah?

And Allah Knows Best.
