Mixing zamzam with one's tea
Q: I heard that mixing some zamzam in a glass of water will give the whole glass of water the qualities of zamzam. Will the same be true for a cup of tea - i.e. would it be recommendable that we add a few drops of zamzam to our daily morning tea, giving it the qualities of zamzam?
Purda in ihraam
Q: Kindly advise us about ihram purdah. We are leaving for umrah in one days time and really in need of naseehat as some people who are studying deen advise that the sin is great if purdah touches the face, so rather not wear. Whilst another person who frequents haram sharief says that ihraam purdah was only introduced recently by the conserved Indian ulama and yet another apaa says that wear a normal purdah and pay dum.We want to wear the ihraam purdah. What is the dum? And can we please be advised regarding purdah in Haram Sharief whilst in ihraam?

The Sunnah of spending the night in Mina
Q:
1. Recently, the Saudi authorities have erected tents and made a camp in Muzdalifah due to the lack of space in Mina. On the 8th, since the tents in Mina are full, some haajis are made to stay in these tents which are in Muzdalifah.
Through spending the night in these tents, will the sunnah of spending the night in Mina be fulfilled?
2. Secondly, the haajis returning from Arafat also spend the night in the same area where the tents have been erected at Muzdalifah. Will these haajis be considered as having fulfilled their wuqoof of Muzdalifah (as in reality it is actually proper Muzdalifah).
