Short answer: The O’Hare prayer room options on the Chicago Department of Aviation’s own website are the O’Hare International Airport Chapel in Terminal 2 (mezzanine level, pre-security), which lists rugs and “Juma’ ablution (wudu) facilities”, and the Interfaith Room in Terminal 5 (post-security, Concourse M, Gate M25), which is “Open daily 24 hours”. The site lists no prayer room for Terminals 1 or 3. We found no airport or outlet page that calls an O’Hare restaurant halal, so halal food is marked Not checked yet.
