Mahram accompanying a woman to the Haram Shareef

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?

Women visiting the mubaarak grave of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

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?

Performing forty salaah in Musjid-e-Nabawi

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2018-10-30 07:57

Q: With regards to the virtue of performing 40 salaah in Musjid-e-Nabawi, do the 40 salaah have to be performed consecutively, or will we still receive the virtue if we miss a few salaah in Musjid-e-Nabawi in between? Is this virtue restricted to the time of Haj or can it be received at other times as well?

Standing for long periods at the mubaarak grave of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

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?

Going to Madina before Makkah

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2016-01-28 07:10

Q: If a person is planning to perform umrah, should he go to Makkah first or he may go to Madina first and then Makkah? Some ulma say that it is good to go to Madina first, visit shuhada-e-uhud as according to a Holy prophet's one quotation implies that it makes our prophet more happy if one visits shuhada-e-uhad before he makes ziarat of the holy prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and after spending his planned days in Madinah finally goes to makkah and performs umrah if one seeks the best from Allah. Is this thought valid? And if one performs his umrah in this manner keeping this in mind, would that umrah be valid?
