Q: I had istihadha but not a mazoor. I placed cotton wool like a khursuf but only after completing my umrah and coming out of Ihraam I saw that it messed through. What will I do?
Q: This year while performing hajj, the Saudi Government directed the pilgrims to start performing the 12th dhul hijja rami after Fajr due to excessive heat and overcrowding to avoid any untoward situation. So, we performed the rami before zawal on 12th dhul hijja.
Is my hajj acceptable or do I need to perform anything to compensate for performing rami before zawal? Are there any rulings or views of scholars on performing rami before zawal?
Q: While in a state of Haidh, it is makrooh to remove unwanted hair/nails. However, I will also be entering into ihram during Haidh. Can I shave/trim nails when tying ihram? Is there any sin for having not shaved or long nails during ihram?
Q: My wife and I went for hajj alhamdulilah. We completed our umrah and waited for the hajj days. The morning of the hajj day, very early, because my wife was pregnant and it was the 8 month of her pregnancy so after advise from prominent ulama they suggested I do the saee for the tawaaf e ziyaraah before the hajj starts. So the morning my wife and I did a nafl tawaaf and with the intention of saee for my wife I joined her to do the saee. In this way we completed the saee and then joined up Ml Olgaa to to do our hajj.
After 5 days of hajj we stayed one extra day in Mina. The next day we came to Makkah and did our tawaaf ziyaraah and my wife did not do the saee as we, according to the advise, she did it before the hajj days, actually the morning before the hajj started. Please advise if this is correct.
Q: A Makki (resident of Makkah Mukarramah) performed umrah in the months of hajj,

2. Is there any situation where he will be allowed to make the hajj without any penalty becoming obligatory on him?
3. Generally, what type of hajj is a Makki allowed to make?
Q: In Arafaat, when performing Zuhr and Asr separately in the camp, can one perform nafl salaah at all? Is it advisable?
Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) didn't because he joined Zuhr and Asr then after Asr was makrooh. But what about us?
Q: My husband and I would have been accredited for Hajj this year but he asked SAHUC to remove our names before the list came out as he says he cannot afford it and Hajj is not Fardh on him.
He does own 2 cars but does not have enough disposable cash to pay for the trip.
Is Hajj fardh on him? I can afford to pay for my own Hajj
Q: A woman who has extremely short, curly hair (like is commonly found among the local communities in South Africa) goes to perform umrah.
How does such a woman remove her hair to come out of ihraam, as she will not be able to gather her hair around a fingertip and cut a little more - her hair is too short for that. What does she do? Please advise.
Q: I wish to perform umrah in Zul Qa’dah so that I will not need to perform Tawaaf-e-Qudoom. After performing umrah, I will remain in Makkah Mukarramah, and thereafter, I will go directly to Mina on the 7th of Zul Hijjah. Is this permissible?
