Q: What is the ruling for the following scenarios?
1. A man puts on his Ihrām and goes into Makkah. When he checks into his hotel, he receives news of the passing away of a family member, hence he flies back, in Ihrām, for the Janazah, thereafter returning and commencing his Umrah. Is there anything due upon him?
2. A couple are going for Hajj. As they don the Ihrām and are about to enter Makkah, the wife's menstruation commences, which will end on the 7th of Dhul-Hijjah, hence after the completion of the husband's Umrah, they decide to spend the remaining time in Madinah. Is there anything due upon the wife?
A:
1. If he did not remove his ihraam nor do anything that is against the laws of ihraam, then he will not have to give any damm.
2. The wife will remain in ihraam for the period that they stay in Madinah Munawwarah, before returning to Makkah Mukarramah. Hence, if the wife did not remove her ihraam nor do anything that is against the laws of ihraam, then she will not have to give any damm.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
