Q: I would like to know what is the ruling on wearing niqab while praying and wearing niqab while making hajj. I have read that regarding hajj it is not permissible to wear niqab but rather to wear a covering of some sort? I do not understand what is meant by that.
Q: Are the following permissible in the state of Ihram:
1. Toothpaste?
2. Scented/unscented oil, soap, shampoo, etc?
3. Food with a nice smell?
4. Chewing gum (flavoured or unflavoured)?
5. Applying creams or lotion on the body?
Q: I performed Umrah with my face covered such that the veil was touching it for a duration less than 12 hours. Mufti sahab replied that I am supposed to give sadaqa. Please clarify:
1- What is the amount of sadaqa that I should give?
2- Should sadaqa be given to someone in Makkah Mukarramah or can I give it to someone in Karachi as I am residing here?
Q: After urinating and taking taharah, some drops of urine drip out afterwards. If i am on Hajj or Umrah, how will I manage this problem?
Q: My wife made 2 mistakes in umrah. We are worried that we have to give sadaqa, damm or any other fine for that mistake or it can be ignored.
1. Although we left our home with the niyyat of umra, but when the meekat came she didn't make proper niyat by words. She make proper niyat by words when we reached Makkah.
2. During tawaf she covered her face with full burka as she was worried about her hair becoming exposed.
Q: I did hajj 10 years back but I made a mistake. I did tawaful ifaada on the 10th but perfomed the sai on the 12th of zul hijja. Then I left Makka after the tawaful wida for Madina and from there home. My question is, was my Haj complete? If not what can I do now? Please help.
Q: Alhamdulillah, I performed Umrah this week. After performing tawaaf and before performing the waajib-ut-tawaaf salaah, I realized that I forgot to open my right shoulder while performing tawaaf. However, I completed the remainder of the Umrah.
What is the ruling if I forgot to open my right shoulder while performing the tawaaf? Should I sacrifice a goat as damm?
Q: A woman performed her umrah with her niqaab touching her face (she did not wear the cap niqaab). Must she give damm or sadaqah? Where must the sadaqah or damm be discarged? If sadaqah, then how much must she give?
Q: The following two errors were made by me unintentionally whilst in Ihraam.
1) When I put on the Ihraam I forgot to remove my underpants. I realised this after about 20 minutes. I removed it immediately thereafter.
2) After coming out of the toilet, I washed my hands using soap unintentionally. Please advise what compensation is due from me, and please advise whether the compensation must be paid/done in Makkah or if it can be done here.
Q: A couple performed haj about 10 years ago. After getting out of ihraam i.e after arafat, after slaughtering and after shaving head and bathing, the couple got intimate and had sexual intercourse. This occurred before completing tawaaf of haj and before returning to Mina. Is their haj valid? Must any dam be done?
