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 have planned to go for Umrah in July 2025 along with my mother (age 62 years). We will go together and perform Umrah together.

Q: Three ladies came for umrah. They made three umrahs but never cut their hair at all. They are now in Madinah Shareef. They did not come with their husbands (i.e. they came with other mahrams). Should they give sadaqah or damm? If sadaqah, then how much?
Q: During tawaf on the first floor there are times where construction barriers are blocking off certain areas.

It happens few times during tawaaf. What should we do in this situation?
