Q: I performed my first Umrah and removed all my hair with a zero trimmer. After 2-3 days, I performed a second Umrah and removed my hair using the same zero trimmer (though the hairs were very few). I was in doubt as to whether it was correct for me to use the zero trimmer. Since I had a doubt, I used a blade when I made the next 3-4 Umrahs after that. Was it correct for me to use a zero trimmer or was it necessary for me to use a blade?

Q: My baby has been having seizures since birth. He has brain damage and other complications. Doctors are perplexed by his problems. His brain mri shows damage but not that much.
