Q: A women in her near 60's is diabetic, has blood pressure issues and foot corn such that if she walks much she get's pain in her legs.
Now when she was married many years back, she was gifted some gold such that if that is sold she can pay for hajj. Initially she didn't do so. Now, she can only do hajj by selling the gold. She doesn't earn otherwise. Would hajj be fard on her?
Q: I'm currently in Madinah and my period started last night (Friday). My period lasts for 10 ten days. That has always been my habit. We leave for Makkah on Sunday insha-Allah. Do I enter into my ihraam and perform my umrah when we reach Makkah and pay my dum, or do I not enter ihraam on Sunday and delay my umrah till before we leave for home?
Q:
1. Can a tinted lip balm be applied before going into ihraam?
2. What sunscreen can be used while in ihraam?
3. Is it permissible to take pills to delay haidh before the 5 days of hajj?
Q: What is the ruling for the following scenarios?
1. A man puts on his Ihrām and goes into Makkah. When he checks into his hotel, he receives news of the passing away of a family member, hence he flies back, in Ihrām, for the Janazah, thereafter returning and commencing his Umrah. Is there anything due upon him?
2. A couple are going for Hajj. As they don the Ihrām and are about to enter Makkah, the wife's menstruation commences, which will end on the 7th of Dhul-Hijjah, hence after the completion of the husband's Umrah, they decide to spend the remaining time in Madinah. Is there anything due upon the wife?
Q: There is a lot of fitnah happening in Saudi Arabia; the government is allowing a lot of haraam there. The Hajj is being used by the government to extort money from Muslims. Muslims are committing a lot of haraam near the Kaaba; there are reports of men touching women's buttocks during the circumambulation of the Kaaba. Many are taking photos inside the Hajj to the point where it's almost impossible to avoid being recorded.
Would it be permissible to postpone the Fard Hajj until things improve in Saudi Arabia, thus allowing for a purer Hajj without involving haram?
Q: My question is regarding Hajj.
I would like to know what is the difference between dam e shukar and qurbani?
Do I have to 2 different qurbanis?
If I do dam e shukar in Makkah, can I come out of ihraam or do I have to also do my qurbani and then come out of ihraam?
I plan to do my qurbani in Malawi and dum a shukar in Makkah.
Q: I am a 21 year old male who consistently suffers from urinary incontinence. I usually place a piece of tissue in my underwear after urinating just incase some urine drops may come out.
I plan on one day going for umrah but I am afraid that my condition may cause difficulties especially if I should need to use the toilet whilst in ihraam. How can I possibly solve this issue as a whole?
I have also read from a previous post that it is permissible to place a bag or wear adult diapers under the ihraam, in such a case does the diaper have to be without any stitching or sewing and how would one secure a bag to ensure it doesn’t fall out?
Q: Someone went for Umrah and before starting, emptied his bladder as he had the desire for it and then reached Haram Shareef. It was too crowded and he had to walk a long distance to enter Haram as the passages were closed. Now after a while, before starting Umrah, he again had the desire to empty his bladder (though he did not eat or drink for the past 6 hours to avoid this problem). He felt it is difficult to go out to relieve again and started and completed Umrah and during Umrah, Esha jamaat as well. That feeling was off and on.
Will the Umrah be valid? If not what is to be done, sadaqah or repeating the umrah?
If umrah was not valid, did he come out of ihram after completing Umrah and performing Halaq?
He repeated Esha prayer. Was it needed or not?
Q: Myself and my family will be going for umrah in March In Sha Allah.
I am in niqaab and I wanted to find out the ruling if I can keep my niqaab on and give out a damm as I make pardah from my brother in law's and they are going to be with so I can't take it off completely.
Q: We came on Umrah with kids and my 6 years 8 months old fell too sick that we have to take him to emergency in Mecca in the state of ihram.
We treated him and then my wife and my daughter we performed Umrah Alhamdulilah. But due to his sickness we can’t take him for umrah and he had to be taken out of ihram state to take rest. What should I do? Is Damm or Sadqah wajib on me?
