Visiting Madina Munawwarah

Q: According to the hadith about praying 40 salah in Madina. Is it compulsory to start from Fajr prayer only or can I start from zuhr/asr?

Q: Can a woman in haidh convey salaams outside by the green dome in Madinah Munawwarah? 

Q:

1.When going for Umrah, in light of it being makrooh for women to go to the Masjid, should a woman rather remain in her room for salaah (in Madinah Shareef as well)?

2. Usually men go to the Haram for salaah, tawaaaf, Rawdha, etc. and the women go by themselves in their own time. Is this OK or should the mahram accompany them?

Q: Is it permissible for a woman in her menses to stand outside the Musjid in Madinah Munawarah near the green dome within the gates (in the courtyard)? 

Q: What is the status of sitting whilst conveying salaam to Hazrat Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) at the Raudhah Mubarak?

Q: What response do I give to this sister. She sent me the following:

I have a question regarding visiting Rawdah (Blessed grave of Nabi [sallallahu alaihi wasallam]) as the workers here have created a doubt in my mind. Is it possible to get the answer?

A staff member was explaining that when we (ladies) visit the Rawdah, our intention should purely be ibaadah in Riyadh ul jannah and not to visit Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) as he disliked ladies visiting graveyards. Then she quoted an ayah/hadeeth in Arabic and stated that He never said ladies shouldn’t visit graves except for mine. So she mentioned that we should all rectify our intentions before going inside.

I know there is a difference in opinions and people in Saudi might be from a different school of thought, but for us being Hanafi what is the ruling?

Q: Recently a woman told us that when you go for hajj and go to Madina Munawwarah to visit the grave of the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), a woman should wear new green clothes, perfume, bangles, henna and apply red colored pigment (called gandasa) on her lips. Is it all true or bidah?

Also, is it necessary to make new clothes or wearing white clothes for hajj for a woman?

Q: With regards to the virtue of performing forty salaah in Musjid Nabawi, do the forty salaah have to be performed consecutively, or will we still receive the virtue if we miss a few salaah in Musjid Nabawi in between? Is this virtue restricted to the time of hajj or can it be received at other times as well?

Q: In Madinah, when standing to give salam to the Nabi ﷺ at his blessed grave, the guards usually tell you to move away after a short while. Therefore you are not able to convey salams on behalf of all people who have asked you to do so. What some people do is that they despite being told off by the guards secretly stay longer until the guards physically push them away. Is it permissible to do so, given that you are certain that you do not cause harm and do not disrupt the flow of people by staying longer? Or is it necessary to immediately obey the command of the guards to move?

Q: I will inshAllah be visiting the Prophet's ﷺ grave in Madinah and convey salams to him from different people. Can I also convey salams to him from people who have not asked me to do so?
