Q: I’m planning to perform Umrah after my wedding in December, and I’m considering two scenarios: 

**Scenario 1:** I take a flight from Pakistan to Jeddah, make the intention for Umrah and enter Ihram before crossing Miqat during the journey, and then travel directly from Jeddah to Makkah to perform Umrah on the same day. 

**Scenario 2:** I fly from Pakistan to Jeddah but stay there for two days and two nights to explore the city and do some sightseeing. After that, I travel from Jeddah to the Miqat, enter Ihram, make the intention for Umrah, and then proceed to Makkah to perform Umrah. 

My main question is whether the second scenario is Islamically permissible. 

I want to clarify that *my primary purpose of visiting Saudi Arabia is to perform Umrah.* Staying in Jeddah first would be purely for sightseeing and exploring the city. There is no work-related reason, necessity, or compulsion involved. It would simply be my personal preference. 

Since our return flight will be from Madinah, we won't have the opportunity to explore Jeddah on our way back. That's why I'm considering visiting Jeddah before performing Umrah. 

Could you please guide me on whether the second option is permissible according to Shariah, or whether we should enter Ihram before crossing Miqat and perform Umrah directly upon arrival?

Q: I would like to request a ruling according to the Hanafi madhhab regarding a student job at an ALDI supermarket distribution warehouse in Germany. 

My main assignment involves picking fruit, bread, flowers and other ordinary goods. However, employees may occasionally be reassigned to a chilled warehouse area containing chicken and pork products, for example when colleagues are absent or another department needs assistance. My employer has explained that they cannot guarantee that I will never be assigned to this area, although most of my work is expected to involve ordinary goods. 

The work is performed using a voice-picking system. I receive instructions to pick specific products and quantities, place them on a pallet, attach a label and move the completed pallet to a designated dispatch area. I do not sell the goods, interact with customers, receive deliveries or load the trucks myself. 

According to the Hanafi madhhab, is it permissible for me to accept and continue this employment, and is my salary halal if I occasionally have to pick and palletise pork products as part of an otherwise predominantly permissible job?
