Hajj & Umrah

Q: What kind of bag or satchel can I wear while performing Tawaaf? Can the satchel have a logo of Puma on it? I mean it is a tiger figure made on it.

Q: I sold my car two years ago. 

I have saved money. 

After looking at the price of second hand cars and the age of vehicles available, I took mashwara from a senior aalim and decided to take a loan for one year and buy a new car. The car is not cheap but cars are quite costly. So it's the second from an entry level. 

I intend purchasing the car in the next few weeks. 

I then went onto the hajj portal and it showed my name will come for the next hajj. When I had checked in July and I contacted sahuc, they said two years. 

I would like to know, am I not allowed to buy the car because I will be in debt and in no position to go for hajj when the time of hajj dawns. I will be paying the car till the end of 2025. 

The second issue is I am using the car from work and my boss is not a stable person so I fear that he's going to make an issue of me using the work car for such a long period 

I have also had an option to get the car slightly cheaper but there was a waiting period so because of my boss I decided let me rather buy it now.

Q: According to the hadith about praying 40 salah in Madina. Is it compulsory to start from Fajr prayer only or can I start from zuhr/asr?

Q: I am going for umrah soon and also have an issue where very small amounts of discharge exit my private parts. How do I perform my umrah if this discharge might exit my private parts during tawaaf and so on. What shall I do if anything exits? Does my umrah not count? If any discharge ends up touching my Ihram, does my umrah not count? 

Q: Is it permissible for a person who is accredited for Hajj, and has both the means and opportunity to fulfill their Fardh Hajj, to delay it as he is concerned that their income may not be completely halaal? The individual intends to fulfill the obligation but wishes to ensure that they use only pure, halaal money for this sacred journey.

Q: How many umrahs is a person allowed to perform in one day?

Q: A woman washes some clothes and sets out for umrah and enters into ihram. 

Whilst in the state of ihram, will it be permitted for her to wear these newly washed clothes despite some of the fragrance of the washing detergent remaining in them?

Q: My hair is very thin, especially my beard hair. If I make wudhu and do khilaal, then sometimes, few hairs fall off. 

I'm planning to do umrah inshallah. My question is that if I am in the state of ihraam and hair falls off accidentally while making wudhu etc., not on purpose, then will there be damm or anything necessary?

Q: Years ago I made umrah and then I made an overnight visit to Taif. Was I suppose to perform another umrah on my return to Makkah?

Q: Can one perform Umrah with one of those umbrellas that has an elasticated band and you can wear it on your head leaving your hands free... especially when the temperature exceeds 30+ degrees?
