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?

There are no one on one consultations, to the extent she can tell things about patients and their problems even whilst the patient is asleep.

Q: As we are aware, Brazil exports meat and meat products worldwide. Even within the Arab countries, these products are exported and, according to my information, they are halaal certified. As a result, many Muslims consume these products. 

However, I have noticed that our Ulama forbid consuming them. I have some questions regarding this: 

1. What is the position of our Ulama on Brazilian chicken, regardless of the brand? 

2. Are there certain brands that are genuinely halaal? 

3. On what basis is meat exported to Muslim countries and certified as halaal? 

4. Why do our Ulama and the Arab Ulama differ on this matter?
