Q: I am planning to go for Hajj in 2020 but not sure what kind of sandal I can wear when I am in ihraam. I found that some of them are saying I have to wear a slipper with the 2 belts (flip flop) without any stitches. Some say that I can wear any kind as long as the back and the front are open and some say that it cannot cover the middle part of the foot. Please explain to me what kind of footwear I can wear, if possible a picture would be great.
Q:
1. Can I wear sunglasses when making tawaaf for umrah and hajj?
2. Can I wear perfume at the time of tawaaf for umrah and hajj?
Q: I would like to know what kind of slipper I can wear in the state of ihraam. Is it a must to wear a 2 belt slipper or I can wear the slipper which is open in the front and back?
Q: Can a patient who has a urine problem perform umrah by wearing a pamper (diaper) in tawaaf?
Q: I work as a flight attendant for an airline. Sometimes when I come to Jeddah, once I come to the hotel, I shower and put on my ihram on and go and do umrah. Is this ok?
Q: If one is in Makkah and visits Taif then returns to Makkah, does one need to don the ihraam again?
Q: I want to go to Makkah for ziyarat but not with niyyat of umrah. Is it allowed to go to Makkah without ihraam? I live in Dammam and as per my visa I am not allowed to do umrah. So I can’t do umrah. Also I haven’t done umrah before so can I visit Makkah?
Q: I am going to travel to Dammam, Saudi Arabia. I have niyyat for Umrah and will be travelling to Jeddah to my relatives house and will be going to Makkah the next day. Do I need to wear ihram from Dammam or should I wear ihram in Jeddah at my relatives house before leaving for Umrah the next day.
Q: If one wishes to wear a clean ihram while in the state of ihram, is the new ihram permitted to have a scent like a normal soap scent? Can one prepare ones second ihram with perfume?
Q: Is it permissible to use Deep Freeze/Deep Heat when in ihraam (for pains etc.)? The spray and ointment has a strong menthol smell.
