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 Tamattu Hajj many years ago. After coming out of ihraam i.e after making wuqoof in Arafah and after slaughtering and after shaving the head and bathing, the couple had relations. This occurred before completing the Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah. Is their hajj valid? Must any damm be given?
Q: What if the Saudi government stops you the last minute from traveling and the person has already worn the ihraam. Should he then give the kaffarah? Because most of the people say if you have worn the ihraam for Hajj and are then unable to perform it, you must give kaffarah. Kindly explain this.
Q: I want to ask you a very important question regarding Hajj as we are unable to find the answer to this problem. My parents were supposed to perform a Hajj this year, everything was set, they received their hajj visas, had their tickets booked too, but the day of their flight, a letter was issued by the government of Saudi Arabia that no more hajis are allowed to perform hajj after 5 Zil Hajjah. Hence, my parents returned home as the staff at the airport wouldn't let them go. My parents did the niyyah for hajj but hadn't worn their ihraam yet and decided to wear it upon reaching Dubai so that they could wear it from Dubai to Saudi Arabia. The question is whether they're supposed to pay kuffarah as a verse related to this is mentioned in Surah Baqarah. My parents are confused regarding this and seek guidance. Kindly guide us through this problem whether they should pay kuffarah and if so, what should the kuffarah be.
Q: I performed hajj last year most of the people did the extra dam just in case they forgot to do something wrong. I couldn't because I haven't money left. Can I do it now and send money to my friend there and he do the dam for me?
Q: I performed hajj and I wanted to be safe and give dam (penalty) but I already left Saudia Arabia and now I'm at home. Is it still permissible to give dam and who can I give it to?
Q: I forget to make neeyat of hajj and reached mina. Due to sickness I return to my home but my husband made neeyat of hajj but due to my sickness he also returned home. Can Allah forgive us? What are our punishment. What should we do?
Q: What is the Shar’ee ruling regarding a person who tied his ihraam for only umrah or only hajj, but due to illness or any other unforeseen circumstance, he was unable to travel? How will he come out of ihraam?
Q: Is it compulsory for a person performing hajj to follow a specific sequence in carrying out the following three rituals of hajj: 1) pelting the Jamarah, 2) shaving his head, 3) performing Damm-e-Shukr, or can one carry out these three rituals in any sequence?
