Q: I will be leaving for Umrah in a week. I will be landing in Jeddah, and I will have to be in the state of Ihram. I have a few questions regarding going into Ihraam. 

1. I will make the ghusul in South Africa that morning before I leave for Jeddah. Will it be valid if I go into Ihraam on the plane before landing in Jeddah?

If I go in to Ihraam on the plane must I make the the 2 rakaats of Sunnat Salaah on the plane.

2. As mentioned in question 1, if I go into Ihraam on the plane, must I proceed straight to perform Umrah or I may go to the Hotel?

3. As mentioned question 2, if I can go to the hotel and then perform Umrah, can I remove the Ihraam I was in and make ghusal and re-enter in to Ihraam?

Q: Is there any penalty for holding the ghilaaf of the Ka'bah during tawaaf of umrah, or tawaaf in general? Also given the fact that it is perfumed, is there any penalty that one must pay for after holding the ghilaaf, because its itr came onto the person. 

Q: Some people touch the wall of the Ka'bah and cry and ask Allah for forgiveness. Is it allowed? What is the ruling if one does this?

Q: When removing the hair to come out of ihraam, is it sufficient to cut a little hair from each side of the head or do men have to cut at least one third of their hair?
