Hajj & Umrah

Q:

3. Can salaam also be given to Abu Bakr and Umar رضي الله عنهما from these place or is it only possible when directly in front of the Qabrs?

Q: My wife wants to make tawaf on the mataf and I don't want to because I need to wear the ihraam and go. I was told not to wear the ihraam and go because I will be lying that I am making Umrah and I wouldn't be making umrah. What must I do?

Q: I have difficulty with my knees while walking long distances. 

1. While in the state of ihraam, will it permissible for me to wear a knee guard? 

2. In the state of ihraam, can I wear an ankle guard?

Q: I intend performing Umrah for my deceased parents. I’m travelling to Jeddah and staying for 2 days with my niece who resides there. After I finish Umrah I will go back to Jeddah for a week and then to Doha for 2 days. 

When and where do I don Ihraam? 

Can I perform 1 umrah for both my parents?

Q: I want to find out more about being intimate with your partner when gone for umrah. 

1. During ihraam, is it permissible to hug your spouse or kiss on the cheek etc. 

2. Is it permissible to be physically intimate with your partner when out of ihraam while in Makkah and Madinah?

Q: If a person cannot afford Hajj, can they go for Umrah?

Q: I know that tawaafe wida is obligatory for hajj. What is the status of it for umrah? 

I've heard some say it is "not prescribed"... Does this mean it is haraam or makrooh or just not compulsory?

1. Does a person stop and face the Hajre Aswad with his entire body face and chest?
