Hajj & Umrah

Q: Can I perform Umrah even though I have a loan? Note: With Bank or with an individual.

Q: If a husband has already performed Hajj, is it compulsory for him to send his wife for Hajj as well? Under what condition Hajj becomes compulsory for the wife?

Q: In Muallimul Hujjaaj under pehle chakkar ki dua, it is mentioned that when making istilaam from far, a person should only raise his hands the first time. Is this correct?

Q: I am planning to go for umrah with my father who is elderly. He can walk slowly, but it would take extremely long time for him to perform the tawaafs and sa'ee walking, and he would have to stop many times to rest. Will it be permissible to take him in a wheelchair, even though he technically can walk, since this would be easier for him?

Q: I planned to go for Hajj with my wife but she got pregnant and then I went alone and performed Hajj this year. My question is: Is it compulsory on me to take my wife for Hajj; if yes then when? (I heard I can't go for Hajj for next five years according to Saudi Hajj Policy as I just performed Hajj this year) Is it fardh on the husband to take his wife for Hajj?

Q: If one is in debt and still paying it off, can one accept a sponsor if they are sponsoring for Hajj?

Q: A couple performed haj about 10 years ago. After getting out of ihraam i.e after arafat, after slaughtering and after shaving head and bathing, the couple got intimate and had sexual intercourse. This occurred before completing tawaaf of haj and before returning to Mina. Is their haj valid? Must any dam be done?

Q:

1. Do minor children ages 4 and 6 also have to wear ihraam?

2. Do children also have to shave their hair?

Q:

1. When in ihraam can one wear sunglasses and a watch?

Q: A person delayed doing his tawaaf-e-ziyarah till the last few hours before sunset on the 12th Zul Hijjah. Whilst proceeding from Mina to complete the tawaf-e-ziyaarah, the police prevented him from proceeding to makkah. He attempted going through the police blockade a few times but to no avail. The time period prescribed to complete the tawaaf-e-ziyaarh thus elapsed (i.e. sunset on the 12th Zul Hijjah). Will damm be wajib on him ?
