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?
