Tawaaf

Q: Which shoulder must we cover and which shoulder must we leave open when performing tawaaf in ihraam?

Q: What is the Shar’ee ruling if a person had performed the tawaaf of umrah without wudhu?

Q: When wearing the ihraam cloth and making tawaf around the ka'bah, I am afraid that part of my awrah (just below the navel) will be visible at times, especially when flipping the cloth to the idhtibaa' position etc, since I am not used to wearing this cloth. If my awrah shows, will the tawaf still be valid. Will I have to pay any compensation for it?

Q: When a person makes istilaam, should he only raise his hands in the first round when commencing the tawaaf, or should he raise his hands in every round of the tawaaf when he passes by the Hajr-e-Aswad?

Q: I am planning to go for umrah with my father who is elderly. He can walk slowly, but it would take extremely long time for him to perform the tawaafs and sa'ee walking, and he would have to stop many times to rest. Will it be permissible to take him in a wheelchair, even though he technically can walk, since this would be easier for him?

Q: A person delayed doing his tawaaf-e-ziyarah till the last few hours before sunset on the 12th Zul Hijjah. Whilst proceeding from Mina to complete the tawaf-e-ziyaarah, the police prevented him from proceeding to makkah. He attempted going through the police blockade a few times but to no avail. The time period prescribed to complete the tawaaf-e-ziyaarh thus elapsed (i.e. sunset on the 12th Zul Hijjah). Will damm be wajib on him ?

Q: What if a person does not do his tawaaf-e-ziyaarah before the sunset of the 12th of Zil Hijjah?

Q: A woman is experiencing her haidh and needs to perform her Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah, but she will only become clean from her haidh after the date of her return flight. Since her flight is already booked, can she perform her Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah in haidh and give damm?

Q: What should a woman do when her wudhu breaks while performing tawaaf in the time of hajj? Since it is very difficult for her to go and renew the wudhu due to the crowd, etc. can she continue the tawaaf without making wudhu?
