Conditions & Fundamentals of Hajj and Umrah

Q: What is the maslah regarding a woman who has her haidh during the days of Hajj?

Q: A friend and his family were not able to stay in muzdalifah on Youm-u-nahar in between fajar to tuloo', not even for 5 mins as they were forced to leave muzdalifah @12:30 (at night) as they were having toddlers and womenfolk with them, so they were not able to offer fajr namaz there in muzdalifah.

One mufti sb told that they should have left the women in mina and came back for wuqoof in muzdalifah, hence they have to offer damm. Another mufti sb told that there is no need for damm. Both are great Deobandi mufti's. What should they do?

Q: If a person performs tawaf in the lowest floor around the ka'bah (ie. the sahn floor), it is likely that he will (unintentionally) come in physical contact with women due to the crowd, especially close to the al-hajar al-aswad corner. Will he still be permitted to perform tawaf on this floor (whilst doing his best to avoid contact), or is it wajib for him to perform the tawaf on any of the higher floors where the risk of contact is less?

Q: I live in Mumbai (India) and I am planning to perform Umrah. I will be taking a flight from Mumbai to Jeddah and continue onwards from Jeddah to Makkah via bus/car. I know that I need to be in the state of ihram while passing the Miqaat. I will wear Ihram at Mumbai airport so that all I have to do while passing the Miqaat (in the air) is make the Niyah.

My query is that I do not know when should I make the Niyah so that I am sure I have not missed the Miqaat boundary. I will be travelling in a flight which will not be notifying me when I pass over the Miqaat area. What is the way that I should follow? Should I make Niyah from Mumbai (India) airport OR should I make Niyaah 1 hour before reaching Jeddah? There can be a chance that I do not pass over any specific Miqaat point (rather pass through between 2 Miqaat points), what do I do in that case? ?

Q: If a person is performing tawaf around the Kabah and takes a break for salah, does he have to restart the entire round or can he continue the tawaf from the spot that he stopped?

Q: Is it permissible to perform nafil tawaaf on a wheelchair despite being able to walk? I know that it is impermissible to make tawaaf in a wheelchair for obligatory tawaafs, but I would like to know if the ruling is different for nafil tawaaf?

Q: What is Tawaafuz Ziyaarah and Tawaafaul Widaa? How will one compensate for not performing it?

Q: If a person is performing hajj this year, should he refrain from clipping nails and removing unwanted hair from the first of Zul-Hijjah as he will be making Qurbani or should he clip his nails and remove unwanted hair on the 8th, before putting on his ihraam?

Q: I pass the meeqat without wearing ihram, so in this case do I have to give one Dam. Is it possible to feed some poor perosn or can I fast instead of giving damm.
