Q:

1. If a person is living in Jeddah for job purposes. He goes to Pakistan for one month leave (crosses the meeqat) and returns to Jeddah after one month. Now if he intends to go to Masjid ul Haram, does he need to wear ihraam or can he go for tawaf or prayers, etc.?

2. If this person goes to Madinah from Jedddah, he is crossing the meeqat, then he returns to Jeddah on the same day. Now if he goes to Masjid ul Haram, does he need to wear ihraam and first perform umrah or can he go to the Haram for tawaf and prayer, etc. without ihraam.

Women visiting the mubaarak grave of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Q: What response do I give to this sister. She sent me the following:

I have a question regarding visiting Rawdah (Blessed grave of Nabi [sallallahu alaihi wasallam]) as the workers here have created a doubt in my mind. Is it possible to get the answer?

A staff member was explaining that when we (ladies) visit the Rawdah, our intention should purely be ibaadah in Riyadh ul jannah and not to visit Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) as he disliked ladies visiting graveyards. Then she quoted an ayah/hadeeth in Arabic and stated that He never said ladies shouldn’t visit graves except for mine. So she mentioned that we should all rectify our intentions before going inside.

I know there is a difference in opinions and people in Saudi might be from a different school of thought, but for us being Hanafi what is the ruling?

Q: Recently a woman told us that when you go for hajj and go to Madina Munawwarah to visit the grave of the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), a woman should wear new green clothes, perfume, bangles, henna and apply red colored pigment (called gandasa) on her lips. Is it all true or bidah?

Also, is it necessary to make new clothes or wearing white clothes for hajj for a woman?

Q: Do thoughts that come while performing Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah or stoning the devil cause any issue? I had few thoughts going on in my mind due to some confusion related to Salah and was blaming myself.
