Q: If wearing the cap purdah in ihraam is difficult, should a woman wear the normal purdah or not wear any? Some are of the opinion of wearing the normal purdah and removing before 12 hours, is this also a correct view?
Q: What should a woman who is experiencing her haidh do if she needs to perform her tawaaf e ziyaarat in haj or the coming out of ihraam in umrah when the return flights are booked? Must she make the tawaaf and give dam or what should she do?
Q: I live in Saudi Arabia. I performed Umrah one week ago, when it comes to do qasr or halq, I got pain in on the side of my foot. I reached quickly at the barber shop, they were closing shop due to prayer. I insisted but they refused to cut, they instead cut some hair from the upper side and another person with me also done it. After Prayer I wanted to cut my hair further, but due to much pain in the foot I could not go there. Then some one told me it is necessary to cut quarter of the head but I could not do it, now i'm back at home, and was thinking about it, either that qasr is enough for me or not, so my question is was this act enough to become halaal or not? If not, what do I have to do right now?
Q: What should a woman do when her wudhu breaks while doing tawaaf in the time of hajj where it is very difficult for her to go and renew the wudhu?
Q: Is applying ointment for pain or other cause also prohibited after one had entered ihram, because normally all ointment has a scent whereas all scented things are prohibited in the state of ihram?
Q: A female scholar in Masjid Nabwi told my wife that it is permissible to cover the face while doing Umrah and that there is no proof for covering the face while doing umrah. She followed her instruction and did umrah while her face was covered with niqaab. Was the female scholar correct? Does my wife have to pay any type of compensation?
Q: I have a question regarding the obligation of Hajj.
I am a convert to Islam. I got married in 2013 and had a baby last year who is now 7 months old. My husband and I would like further children insha Allah and as I am now 33 years old we would prefer to have another child as soon as possible. We are thinking about going for Hajj this year. My husband has already
performed Hajj in 2010 but I have not had the opportunity so far. I have a few concerns with regards our obligation to perform Hajj this year:
1. Our little baby will only just have turned one when we travel and as I am breastfeeding I would have to stop in order to perform Hajj. I am worried about leaving him (he would stay with my husbands parents) but also realise that if we do not go this year, we may find it even more difficult in future years if Allah gives us more children.
2. If I do become pregnant prior to Hajj, is it permissible to postpone Hajj due to pregnancy and fear of causing harm to the unborn child.
3. I still have some outstanding student loan that I took out when I was at university before I accepted Islam. The repayments are linked to my income and taken out of my salary each month. I believe that I still have a few thousand pounds outstanding and the loan does have a small amount of interest attached to it (linked to inflation). Hajj will be jointly funded by myself and my husband. I do not think that it will be possible to pay off the student loan and still have the funds available to go for Hajj. Would it be permissible to travel for Hajj with any of this loan outstanding?
Q: I went for Umrah from Jeddah where I reside. I did Umrah but I came back to Jeddah without cutting my hair. I did not remove my Ihraam. I only removed my Ihraam after I cut my hair in Jeddah. This is not the first time I am doing umrah. Please advice if I needed to do Dam.
Q: A woman went on hajj without being accompanied by a mahram. She had sons, but all of them were too busy with their lives to follow her so she went in a large, safe group of women. I know this is impermissible, but what is the ruling regarding the actual hajj - was her fard of hajj fulfilled? Or was it invalid, making it fard for her to repeat the hajj?
Q: I am going for umrah in April and I have a problem that after finishing the urination, I still dripping for a while so I would like to know that if I can wear an underwear to hold on?
