Her full brothers are Prince Fahd, Prince Sultan, Prince Ahmed, Prince Abdulaziz and Prince Faisal. She is the half-sister of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

CBS reported that as of 2019, she was believed to be in her 40s. She has been publicly supportive of her father since he came to the throne in 2015. In 2016, the Princess delivered a keynote address at Al Yamamah University lauding the achievements of Saudi women. She participated in the activities of the Saudi human rights commission. In June 2020, Hassa bint Salman was made the honorary chair of the Saudi Social Responsibility Association.

French court case In 2016 the magazine Le Point reported that Hassa bint Salman ordered her bodyguard Rani Saïdi to beat a plumber for taking a picture of her. The plumber was called to her apartment in Paris because of a broken bathroom fixture. In the course of taking photographs of the scene he accidentally took a picture in which the Princess could be seen reflected in a mirror. The Princess took offense to this and ordered her bodyguard to beat the man and then forced him at gunpoint to apologize and kiss her feet. He had formerly worked on a bathroom in an apartment on Avenue Foch owned by King Salman. The plumber testified that the Princess said "Kill him, the dog, he doesn’t deserve to live.”

In September 2019 she was convicted in absentia of armed violence for the incident. She received a 10-month suspended prison sentence and a fine of 10,000 euros. Saïdi was convicted of violence, sequestration, and theft.

Personal life She was previously married to Mamdouh bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud, which ended in divorce. On 28 May 2021, she married Fahd bin Saad Al Saud at the Royal Sea Palace in Jeddah.
