Conditions & Fundamentals of Hajj and Umrah

Leaving one's pregnant wife to perform nafl hajj

Q: My husband did hajj last year. I am pregnant and I have 2 little children. His parents who are fit and fine are going for hajj this year with his friends and family who said to take care of them. But in india no 1 is ready to take care of me and my children as the doctor suggested that I should rest. He is taking a business visa and going for hajj. Is it permissible?

Woman in haidh passing the meeqaat without ihraam

Q: I always knew a person cant pass meeqat unless in Ihram even if a woman is in haidh. Now someone said, a woman in haidh can pass the meeqat, then when she is clean she has to bath, go to Masjid Aysha (for niyat and talbiya) then do Umrah and there is no dam. Also that a woman in haidh can not be in the state of Ihram, she should act like she is in Ihram but not in reality.
