Ihraam

Q: I would like to know if a man can wear secret socks with an inner soul during saee for Umrah and Hajj. As from previous experience his feet was hurt.

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. 

Q: Should we change our Abaya (the abaya which we are wearing) when we tie ihram for Umrah or Hajj?

Q: While in the state of Ihraam, is it permissible for one to use toothpaste that contains fragrance?

Q: I'm leaving for umra today Insha-Allah, can I apply cream on my face as it's very dry. Jazakallah

Q: Please can you advise me, we intend going for umrah in April. My son who is 9 will be coming with us. The intention is to make him wear ihraam from madinah. Is it fine if he wears underwear?

Q: I performed umrah some years back with my face covered such that veil was touching my face. I remained in ihraam for less than a day. Am I supposed to give sadqa or damm? Please explain what's the difference between these two?

Q: I am leaving for umrah but will be spending a night and day in Jeddah. I have been told that my brother and I can wear our ihraam in Jeddah before we leave for Makkah the next day. Please clarify if this is true.

Q: "I would like to check the permissibility of wearing Ihraam in Jeddah. We'll be traveling first to Dubai then to Jeddah. We'll be staying in Jeddah at a hotel for one day and night. The reason for stopping in Jeddah is to take rest for my grandmother as she is elderly. I just want to check the permissibility of going into Ihram in Jeddah the next day before leaving for makkah, or should it be done before crossing miqat?" Could mufti please provide me with sources as there is much debate and conflicting information about this. According to what I've checked jamiatul ulema gauteng and jamiatul ulema kzn have ruled that it is not permissible. What would be the basis of ruling otherwise?

Q: Is it possible to sew a piece of velcro on Ihraam? Normally I use a pin, however I will be wearing ihraam on the plane and no pins are allowed in luggage.
