Hajj & Umrah

Q:

1. Hujjaj are returning. Can I ask a haji at the airport to pray for my job and my son's job? We are both are jobless and facing very tough times.

2. Can I do this practice daily or intermittently?

Q: If a person performs tawaf in the lowest floor around the ka'bah (ie. the sahn floor), it is likely that he will (unintentionally) come in physical contact with women due to the crowd, especially close to the al-hajar al-aswad corner. Will he still be permitted to perform tawaf on this floor (whilst doing his best to avoid contact), or is it wajib for him to perform the tawaf on any of the higher floors where the risk of contact is less?

Q: I live in Mumbai (India) and I am planning to perform Umrah. I will be taking a flight from Mumbai to Jeddah and continue onwards from Jeddah to Makkah via bus/car. I know that I need to be in the state of ihram while passing the Miqaat. I will wear Ihram at Mumbai airport so that all I have to do while passing the Miqaat (in the air) is make the Niyah.

My query is that I do not know when should I make the Niyah so that I am sure I have not missed the Miqaat boundary. I will be travelling in a flight which will not be notifying me when I pass over the Miqaat area. What is the way that I should follow? Should I make Niyah from Mumbai (India) airport OR should I make Niyaah 1 hour before reaching Jeddah? There can be a chance that I do not pass over any specific Miqaat point (rather pass through between 2 Miqaat points), what do I do in that case? ?

Q: If a person stops his tawaaf to perform the fardh salaah, does he have to restart the entire round or can he continue the tawaaf from the spot where he stopped?

Q: When coming back from Hajj/Umrah, Saudi has a rule that each pilgrim may only bring with him 5 litres of zamzam, packed in a special box. People say that the reason for the rule is that they want to avoid water packed in normal bags from spilling on the luggage bands. If a person secretly packs extra zamzam in his normal bags, will he be sinful for breaking the 5 litre rule even if he packs it in a way that he is sure there is no leakage?

Q: If a person in Hajj commits several violations of the same type, for example, if he forgetfully wears a topi on five different occasions, does he need to pay a penalty for each individual violation or will one penalty suffice (due to the principle of "tadaakhul")?

Q: Is it permissible to perform nafil tawaaf on a wheelchair despite being able to walk? I know that it is impermissible to make tawaaf in a wheelchair for obligatory tawaafs, but I would like to know if the ruling is different for nafil tawaaf?

Q: What is Tawaafuz Ziyaarah and Tawaafaul Widaa? How will one compensate for not performing it?

Q: If a person is performing hajj this year, should he refrain from clipping nails and removing unwanted hair from the first of Zul-Hijjah as he will be making Qurbani or should he clip his nails and remove unwanted hair on the 8th, before putting on his ihraam?
