Q: I performed Hajj this year, Alhamdulillah. We were a group of five, out of which two women were on wheelchair. So we left Mina after praying Fajar on 12th zilhajj. Did Tawaf e Hajj and went straight to azizia, the men came back to jamarat but the women did not. Men pelted jamarat for women as their wakeel. Is the Hajj completed for women? (We did stay whole 12 zilhajj night in Mina).

Q: Recently alhumdulillah I was blessed with the opportunity of reading the kitaab of Moulana Hakim Akhtar Saheb rahmathullahi alayh titled "life of piety". In this kitaab moulana discusses the fact that Allah mentions sin before taqwa because curbing ones desires leads to taqwa and if a person has no desires he can never become pious.
As a young Muslim alhumdullillah I am not involved in major wrong but I feel there is something wrong with me that I dont have a great desire to sin. I dont feel inclined to watch tv so often I mean I can abstain. I cannot handle the thought of music and I'm not so attracted to the opposite gender that it makes me fall into zina. I dont like visiting places of haraam and neither do I have major social media platforms.
Does this mean I can never attain closeness to Allah or "crush my desires". I do make dua that Allah grants me a hatred for sins but is this something strange in me?
