Hajj & Umrah

Q: What amount of hair is a female required to cut upon the completion of umrah in order for her to come out of ihraam? I have recently been told that just a few strands will suffice.

Q: I am little bit worry about this still this doubt give me stress. I had completed my Hajj before 3 years I had done all things step by step after complete my hajj suddenly a doubt came in my mind whether I had done wudhu and ghusl completly and properly or I had missed something. I am not sure about this so is my hajj valid? I know its waswasa I always try to ignore this doubt but I can't. How can I get rid out of this situation please advise me.

Q: Can one perform hajj if he has taken a loan but as Qarz e husana?

Q: What is the ruling regarding umrah in the month of Shawwaal? If anyone makes umrah in this month what will happen?

Q: Can I (unmarried female) go for Umrah or Haj with my mother, brother in-law and my sister?

Q: I am a 34 year old lady. I did umrah two times but I did not shorten my hair. What is the ruling on that. How can I compensate.

Q: I am a bit confused regarding a decision I have to make. I have performed hajj with my parents and 1 sister 4 years ago. Alhamdulillah, my other 2 sisters have been accredited and being their mahram am required to accompany them as my father’s health does not permit him to accompany them on hajj. Also to take into consideration, that they have been accredited previously but due to other commitments and finances, were unable to attend hajj. Also, Alhamdulillah, in the last year I got married and my wife is pregnant with our first child who is due around the 10th of October. Hajj being the period towards the end of September Insha Allah the 23rd September. My question is, what responsibility takes preference in this case.

Q: My niyah for performing Hajj is for the pleasure of Allah, then also to earn reward in the hereafter and blessings in this world (Deeni, materially etc.). If one of my intentions are to ask from Allah in the blessed lands of Makkah and Medina, is this permissible or should I just focus on performing Hajj for the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala?

Q: What is the sunnah for departure for Hajj?

Q: My friend is travelling for Umrah next week. He will land to Jeddah, from there he will travel to Makkah without making Ihraam and making Niyyat of Umrah. From the hotel after checking in he will go to Masjid-e-Ayesha with the niyyat of umrah and from there he will wear ihraam and will perform Umrah. Is it ok or is it mandatory that he has to make the niyyat from Jeddah?
