Hajj & Umrah

Q: Can one perform tawaaf during sunrise, zawaal and sunset?

Q: Can women perform Maghrib Salaah followed by Esha Salaah individually in Muzdalifah? Also, can men do the same or is it compulsory to offer the two salaah in jamaat?

Q: My concern is as follows:

Alhamdullillah, Allah Ta'ala has granted me the opportunity on several occasions to perform Umrah, as well as the opportunity of Hajj. The problem is, I have a problem with my haidh. I have an issue with stained discharge. At the time when I performed Umrah and Hajj, I was unaware of the fact that the discharge was in fact haidh. Hence I performed ghusl early, and very likely spotted after. It is very rare that I do not spot. There is a very high possibility that when I performed my Umrah, and Hajj, I required ghusl. Hence I would have performed all fard, wajib and nafl tawaaf in a state of impurity. Are the Umrah, and Hajj valid? Is any damm required from my side?

Q: On returning from hajj, many people’s Zam-zam did not arrive. Thereafter, when we reported the missing Zam-zam, the airport authorities gave us bottles of Zam-zam equal to the number that we were supposed to receive. However, the Zam-zam they gave us is not ours, and a few bottles have other people’s details on them. 

It seems that the airport authorities are giving random bottles of Zam-zam to random people who claim Zam-zam. Is it permissible for me to keep the Zam-zam they gave me?

Q: I would like to ask about going on Umrah on a monthly installments basis. The amount is fixed and I have to to pay monthly installments for 30 months. The price is fixed and the monthly installments are also fixed. Is it allowed? 

Q: A few years ago, I went for Hajj. May Allah Ta'ala forgive me, at that time (I can't remember if it was before or after Arafaat), I committed the terrible sin of masturbation. May Allah Ta'ala forgive me. What is the penalty for this? Also, does that act break ghusl? I doubt I made a ghusl after I committed that act. May Allah Ta'ala forgive me.

Q: A musafir offers 4 rakats Isha namaz after Maghrib salah at muzdalifa behind an imam who offered only 2 rakats (not sure if he was musafir or muqeem as few people offer qasr even muqeem) due to confusion but later once he comes to know, he offers 2 rakats Isha namaz alone. Is the namaz okay or not?

Note: He offered the sunnat and witr after the 2 rakats of Isha salah.

Q: Is it permissible for a person to perform Hajj-e-Badal for a na-mahram?

Q: When I was performing Hajj, in mina, muzdalifah and throughout that day where you stone shayateens etc... I noticed that before and after urination wadi has come out of my private part. I am also sure that wadi touches the ihraam which means that my ihraam may also be not clean during that time. I am worried that my hajj may not have been accepted or may be I have to pay for damm (hajj penalty)?

Q: I performed Hajj this year, Alhamdulillah. We were a group of five, out of which two women were on wheelchair. So we left Mina after praying Fajar on 12th zilhajj. Did Tawaf e Hajj and went straight to azizia, the men came back to jamarat but the women did not. Men pelted jamarat for women as their wakeel. Is the Hajj completed for women? (We did stay whole 12 zilhajj night in Mina).
