Hajj & Umrah

Q: I frequently travel to Saudi Arabia. What if I decide to do umrah one day from Dammam to Madinah. Do I need to wear ihram from my house/hotel in Dammam or can I wear the ihram at Dammam airport also.

Q: I have a question regarding visiting the Raudhah (the blessed grave of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)) as the workers here have created a doubt in my mind.

A staff member was explaining that when we (ladies) visit the Raudhah, our intention should purely be ibaadah in Riyaadhul Jannah and not to visit Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) as he disliked ladies visiting graveyards. Then she quoted an aayah or Hadith in Arabic and stated that Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) did not make an exception for ladies to visit his grave. So she mentioned that we should all rectify our intentions before going inside.

Is it correct for women to make the intention that they are visiting the grave of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)?

Q: If a woman in the state of ihraam wore the niqaab for six hours and thereafter removed it to make wudhu, and after ten or fifteen minutes, she wore it again for six hours, will there be any damm upon her?

Q: Recently a woman told us that when you go for hajj and go to Madina Munawwarah to visit the grave of the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), a woman should wear new green clothes, perfume, bangles, henna and apply red colored pigment (called gandasa) on her lips. Is it all true or bidah?

Also, is it necessary to make new clothes or wearing white clothes for hajj for a woman?

Q: Can a musaafir pray in Masjid-e-Namirah and Masjid-e-Khair during hajj , as the imaam there offers only 2 rakaats irrespective of whether he is a muqeem or a musaafir as their madhab says to read only 2 rakaats during hajj?

Q: A woman performed the Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah in the state of haidh. If she repeats the Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah after becoming pure, will the damm fall off?

Q: Is there any authenticity in going to greet everyone before leaving for hajj?

Q: In the condition of ihram, if we scratch our head and while combing, our hair fall down unintemtionally, is dumm compulsory? 

Q: If a qaarin performs umrah and thereafter performs his Tawaaf-e-Qudoom and sa’ee (in place of the sa’ee of Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarat), will he have to make ramal in the first 3 rounds of his Tawaaf-e-Qudoom?

Q: I am planning to go for Umrah in Ramadhaan. We will be reaching Jeddah at around 10 pm and after immigration formalities we will travel to Makkah. We will hardly be reaching around Sehri.

The problem is that we will be too tired to perform Umrah immediately. Is it possible that we will not make niyyat of ihraam and after reaching the hotel, we will take rest and then the next day in the evening after Iftar we will go to nearest miqaat place and then make niyyat of ihram and perform Umrah.
