Q: My parents and I are going for Umrah on the 23 February insha allah. Please can you shed some light on Umrah for me as this is going to be our first trip out of South Africa. I have been reading books on Umrah.
Q:
Q: I live in Jeddah. My mother is coming to visit us. She is coming to Madina and next week we are planning to perform umrah with her. Is it a must that she wear Ihraam from Pakistan? Although we planning to go for umrah next week?
Q: I have a question about Umrah. I am scheduled to travel for umrah in early Feb 14 and thinking about going to Madinah first after landing at Jeddah from NY and after staying few days in Madinah, I will travel to Makkah for Umrah. Can I do this or I have to perform umrah first before going to Madinah?
Q: Is it permissible for a female to wear a normal niqaab when performing umrah, or does she have to keep her face uncovered while in ihraam? The cap purdah is very difficult to use.
Q: Recently, I underwent an operation for hydrocele. I now want to perform umrah, but I need to wear underwear under the ihraam, otherwise I will be in pain during the tawaaf and sa’ee, and complications may arise. In these circumstances, is it permissible for me to wear underwear?
Q: When you go for umrah, is it necessary that you have to ask familly and friends sorry before you go?
Q: The reason for my query is with regards to having sand of Madina sharif in ones possession. A family member came from umrah about two years ago and he gave me a small container with some sand that he brought from madinah sharif.
A year later I learned that Hazrat Moulana Yunus Patel Saheb mentioned in one of his bayaans that the earth of Madinah sharif cries out if it is removed from the holy land and whoever has brought any sand from there should return it. I therefore would like to know if the sand I have should be returned as it was not collected by myself.
Q: Are women allowed to perform Salaah in the two harams?
Q: I was given to understand that Haji/Alhaj denotes a pilgrim in Arabic Language. After one has fulfilled his Haj and removed his Ihraam and returns to his native country he is no longer a Haji, i.e., a pilgrim. But, in my country India, Hajis after their return from Haj Pilgrimage,
add a mandatory prefix title to their name i.e., Alhaj Umar for example, wherever they include their names whether it be wedding or other social invitations, letters, banners, media, etc.
