Conditions & Fundamentals of Hajj and Umrah

Leaving one's pregnant wife to perform nafl hajj

Q: My husband did hajj last year. I am pregnant and I have 2 little children. His parents who are fit and fine are going for hajj this year with his friends and family who said to take care of them. But in india no 1 is ready to take care of me and my children as the doctor suggested that I should rest. He is taking a business visa and going for hajj. Is it permissible?

Tawaaf

Q: I heard some people are fond of circumventing the Kaaba 7 times. I want to know if this is in line with sharia, i.e. circumventing the Kaaba in multiple times as a form of additional ibadat.

Leaving one's ill father in law to perform hajj

Q: My father in law is very ill since the past 6 months. We have a joint family system where my mother in law, sister in law, brother in law, his wife and kids all live together. I, along with my husband want to go for Hajj this year. Is it permissible for us to go? Or should we delay our plans of performing this life time obligation keeping in view the condition of my father in law?
