Conditions & Fundamentals of Hajj and Umrah

Doing saee before tawaaf-e-ziyaarah without ihraam

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.

Hajj for a woman whose husband doesn't have sufficient money to go for hajj

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

Woman travelling without a mahram

Q: I have planned to go for Umrah in July 2025 along with my mother (age 62 years). We will go together and perform Umrah together. But after that, my mother will stay at the house of her own sister's daughter. She will stay there for 15 days. Meanwhile, I will return alone after performing Umrah. She will also return alone from Makkah to Delhi and I will pick her up from Delhi Airport. Whether, returning alone from Makkah to Delhi for my mother is permissible.

Back or chest facing the Ka'bah during tawaaf due to construction barriers

Q: During tawaf on the first floor there are times where construction barriers are blocking off certain areas. It is such that we have to walk diagonally where our shoulder moves away from the Kaabah and it seems like our back is facing the Kaabah (but we can't be certain because we can't see the Kaabah from the first floor). It happens few times during tawaaf. What should we do in this situation?
