Hajj & Umrah

Q: During one of the rounds of tawaaf if a persons shoulder moves away from the direction of the Kabah Shareef, is that round of tawaaf valid?

Q: I went from my home in Jeddah for Umrah with the niyat after performing 2 rakaat nafil. At the checkpost I was stopped and the government didn’t let us do Umrah regardless of permit saying the state has issued new orders post magrib.

Now we came home back to Jeddah, trimed my hair and took off Ihram. I have lived the whole day today normally and even cut my nails.

Do we have to give Dam? We were forced to not perform our Umrah so it was the state rule and we had no way. We can’t give Dam in Makkah as they are only allowing Hajjis and this means we cannot visit Makkah before 50 days now and perform our Umrah. We cannot live in the state of Ihram for that long. Please guide.

Q: Can I (daughter) travel with my mother and do umrah with a guide male. As I do have a mahram brother to take with us but couldn’t take him along with us due to financial expenses.

Please advise if it is fine for a mother and daughter to go for umrah keeping a mahram at home?

Q: A family coming from Taaif entered the meeqaat without ihraam, then they left the meeqaat and re-entered it from Masjid Sayyidah Aaishah with ihraam. What would be the ruling in this case? Would they have to give damm?

Q: If a person forgets to remove his underwear after making intention for Ihraam, what should he do?

Q: While performing umrah, can ladies wear contact lenses? 

Q: As the Kabah Shareef has a scent/itr, is it permissible to touch the Kabah Shareef or Hajr-e-Aswad while in ihraam?

Q:  When performing Umrah i find it difficult to wear the cap hijaab. Last umrah i performed with my husband, i removed the niqaab while in ihraam.

Can Mufti please advise whether I can remove the niqab or wear the normal niqaab and pay dum.

Q: Is it permissible to read the two rakaats after tawaaf after Fajr and Asr?

Q: My grandmother has an umrah trip planned for end of March. But her husband passed away a few days ago (Feb 11). I am aware that iddat is for 4 months ten days but my grandma is 75 years old and I wanted to know if she is able to go to umrah and complete the remainder of her iddat when she gets back or is it not permissible for her to go? I was not aware if age makes a difference.
