Conditions & Fundamentals of Hajj and Umrah

Q: When performing tawaaf of umrah, I mistakenly commenced the tawaaf from Maqaam-e-Ebrahim instead of the Hajr-e-Aswad. Is my umrah valid?  

Q: I will be flying from London for ummrah Insha Allah, but I don't want to wear ihraam from London on the plane because we have to use the plane toilets and I dont think we will stay clean as the toilets are very small and dirty. If I go to Makkah and I wear my ihraam at Masjid-e-Ayesha with the intention of doing umrah the next day, is that permissible? Or do I have to wear ihram in the plane or from London? Please advise.

Q: If a person who resides in the Haram of Makkah or within the meeqaat goes out of the country and returns home, will he need to don the ihraam at the meeqaats?

Q: Can a person apply itr to his ihraam towels together with his body, before making the intention and talbiyah?

Q:

1. Last year, I had enough money for hajj while no time to perform hajj. So I intended to do hajj this year by saving the amount. However, I utilized the maximum amount for the ongoing construction of our house since we are a big family. And so, I couldn't afford to go for hajj. Do I need to do hajj at any cost?

Q: My husband and I are living abroad. He sends money to his parents and other relatives on a monthly basis. We have not performed hajj yet but his parents are asking fro money for them to do hajj? We live in a rented house and save a little every month.

Is it permissible for them to ask for money for hajj from their son before their son does hajj himself? He and his brother are providing for his family monthly and they have enough money to do hajj but still they are asking for more.

Q: My family and I plan to visit Makkah Mukarramah from Riyadh to perform Umrah. In case my wife has her menses before travelling, can we still go to Makkah?

Q:

1. Please explain to me the status of the two rakaats performed after tawaaf – are they mandatory or nafl?

2. If someone did not perform these two raakats immediately, then what should he do? Will they be regarded as qadha?

Q: Can one read the 2 rakaats waajibul tawaaf one time after completing 3 tawaafs?

Q: I live in Oman and I am going for umrah. First I will go to Madinah then I will go to jeddah and last I will go to Makkah for umrah. So from where should I wear the ihram for umrah?
