Q: If a woman is out with her family to a hotel to eat and went to a mall to enjoy some time... So what must she do if salah time is due? She prayed asr at home and went outand now it's maghrib time and she can't pray because there is no women's prayer room in the malls or hotels... So what must she do in this situation?
If she does jama' salah in her home, like praying 4 rakah of asr and then 3 rakah of maghrib in the same time because she won't get a place to pray maghrib, is this correct?

Q: My father keeps his money in my bank account, which mainly comes from monthly shop rent approximately 14 lakhs in total till now.
I used 1.5 lakhs rupees out of those 14 lakhs without my father's permission and started a business which was pretty successful. After a couple of months I put the amount back.
So my question is that the profit that I earned, is it halaal or haraam and should I continue this business?

Q: I am a woman who has always performed Umrah wearing a hat and covering my face. Recently, when I was about to perform Umrah, my sister-in-law insisted that I could wear my niqab directly without the hat, as I would only be wearing it for a few hours, and damm would not be waajib upon me. However, I disagreed with her because I felt that this would compromise the essence of Umrah.
I believe wearing the niqaab in such a manner involves intentional contact of cloth with the face, which contradicts the principles of ihraam. The allowance for unintentional contact exists, but wearing the niqaab directly seems to me like a deliberate act, done only to avoid the inconvenience of using a hat.
Please clarify my doubt:
1. Can I intentionally wear the niqaab directly without a hat and perform Umrah?
2. Can I wear gloves during Umrah as many Saudi women point out during Umrah that it's haraam?
