Hajj & Umrah

Q: My husband's parents names were selected for Hajj this year. However, they have a shortfall of a lot of money. One-third of it. My father-in-law also has a credit card with money owing on it. However, he is not concerned about clearing his debt before going. Furthermore, he asked my husband if he can help him with the balance of the money, which my husband said he would take on his credit card. I am not in favour of this decision as it is a lot of money and we actually cannot afford to pay it every month but he is insistent. We have a family of our own and expenses every month, furthermore, my father-in-law has no sense of remorse that he is going to put his son into debt. Is this fair? Is this allowed?

Q: Is it correct for a person to take a loan to go for his fardh hajj?

Q:

1. A woman who is going to do many umrahs, if her hair goes short due to trimming many times, does she still have to trim the hair?

Q: My sister in law is over 60 and got accredited for hajj this year. She does not have a mahram. She was supposed to go with her brother but his name didn't come out. She was advised to go with a group of ladies for hajj. Is it advisable and should she go with the group of ladies?

Q: I have illness of urine drops and I am in umrah. During umrah, after I completed my tawaaf and went to saee, I feel drops come out on my ihraam. After I completed 1 round of saee, I went to the washroom to wash my ihraam. I made wuzu and again went for saee and started again from my second round and completed it. Is my saee valid?

Q: I have already performed my fardh hajj and wish to perform hajj for my father who passed away and did not perform his fardh hajj. I will be performing hajj with my money, so I believe I can perform Tamattu Hajj also. Is this correct?

Q: When performing tawaaf of umrah, I mistakenly commenced the tawaaf from Maqaam-e-Ebrahim instead of the Hajr-e-Aswad. Is my umrah valid?  

Q: Does Zam Zam water need to be respected such that if it falls on the table we should wipe it with a tissue and put it in a flowerpot or any place where it doesn't come under the feet?

Q: I will be flying from London for ummrah Insha Allah, but I don't want to wear ihraam from London on the plane because we have to use the plane toilets and I dont think we will stay clean as the toilets are very small and dirty. If I go to Makkah and I wear my ihraam at Masjid-e-Ayesha with the intention of doing umrah the next day, is that permissible? Or do I have to wear ihram in the plane or from London? Please advise.

Q: If a person who resides in the Haram of Makkah or within the meeqaat goes out of the country and returns home, will he need to don the ihraam at the meeqaats?
