Hajj & Umrah

Wearing underwear in the state of ihraam due to urine incontinence

Q: My father has a small problem with old age and urine drops. He says straight after he goes to the toilet, about 5 or 10 mins after, he has some trouble with few drops. Then it subsides. 

He usually uses tissue with his underwear for a few minutes after going to the bathroom in case any drops come out and then discards it a short while later. 

He's concerned with ihraam and how would he manage. 

What would be suggested? Is there an option to wear underwear and pay damm? Or is there any alternative.

The virtue for entering into ihraam from Musjidul Aqsa is by making the intention for ihraam from Musjidul Aqsa

Q: 

1. If one ties the ihram in Masjidul Aqsa but does not make intention for being in ihram, do they get the reward of the virtue given? 

2. Also, if one is traveling from Masjidul Aqsa to Makkah Shareef but has to stop in Riyadh and then travel to Jeddah. What is their ruling on the ihram, can they wear the ihram but not make intention?

Woman earning more reward for performing ibaadah in her hotel room when going for umrah

Q: With regards to women performing Umrah, I've been advised that it's preferred they make ibaadah individually. However, my question is if a woman has the correct intentions and adopts strict pardah and makes tawaaf and performs salaah in the Haram Shareef, is she rendered sinful in this regard?
