Hajj for a woman whose husband doesn't have sufficient money to go for hajj
Q: My husband and I would have been accredited for Hajj this year but he asked SAHUC to remove our names before the list came out as he says he cannot afford it and Hajj is not Fardh on him.

Woman in haidh giving damm to come out of ihraam while in Makkah Mukarramah
Q: A girl goes for umrah and puts on ihraam in haiz then she's going to be in haiz till she leaves so she gives Damm and comes out of ihraam.
Few years later she makes another Umrah but doesn't make niyyah of qadha. Will her qadha umrah be counted?
If she's going for hajj this year can she make the umrah as the qadha umrah and put on a separate ihraam for hajj and make ifraad hajj?
If she makes ifraad hajj does she still have to make a Damm shukr?
If she doesn't have to make a Damm shukar but another damm is compulsory on her can she make niyyah for that damm instead?
