Q: A couple went for hajj and after completing the umrah, while waiting for the days of hajj, the husband passed away. What must the wife do? Can she complete the hajj?
Q:
1. I want to know that I heard from an aalim that a female performing salah in the innermost room is superior and more rewardable then performing in the courtyard or varendah. I also heard that a female performing salah in the hotel room is more virtuous and rewardable than in Haramain Sharifain. Is this correct?
2. If it is more rewardable then will the females get the sawab/reward of one lakh namaz when she is reading in a hotel in Haram and fifty thousand in Madinah. As a male would get one lakh when reading his namaz in Haram near Kaabah and 50000 in Madinah in Masjid-e-Nabawi.
3. Moreover, will a person, male or female, get the reward of one lakh when reading his or her namaz anywhere in Makkah and Madinah or it has to be specifically in Haram near Kaabah and in Masjid-e-Nabawi. But for female they will read namaz in hotel rooms as it is more rewarding so any hotel situated anywhere in Makkah or Madinah will she get the same reward or it has to be near the Haramain and not far away. (Far away means how far away) from Haramain?
Q: If a person cannot afford Hajj, can they go for Umrah?
Q:
1. If one ties the ihram in Masjidul Aqsa but does not make intention for being in ihram, do they get the reward of the virtue given?
2. Also, if one is traveling from Masjidul Aqsa to Makkah Shareef but has to stop in Riyadh and then travel to Jeddah. What is their ruling on the ihram, can they wear the ihram but not make intention?
Q: Insha Allah I have intention for Hajj. So we leave on the 28th of April from JHB.
We'll be 10 days in Makkah
Then 12 days in Azzizia
Then 6 days of Hajj
Then another 6 days in Azzizia.
So what I want know is where am I musaafir in this whole trip and where am I muqeem? Do I regard Makkah and Azzizia as 1 or what?
Q: If a person has haraam wealth due to usurping the rights of people, or haraam wealth earned through ribaa (interest) from the banks or from any other source, can he use this wealth to go for hajj? If he goes to perform his fardh hajj with such wealth, will his hajj be valid?
Q: Nowadays even the guards in the Haram Shareef are telling the people to wear towels if they want to access the mataaf, even though they aren't in the state of ihraam.
My question is, in this situation, will one wear the topi or not?
Q: I heard many people say, including my husband, that when Allah pak will call you that's when you will perform Umrah but I wanted to know that if you don't have the intention of going, don't have your mind set, ain't done your preparation of going, how can you say your not ready because Allah did not call you, when I didn't even put any efforts myself.
If applying for the visa and then the visa gets rejected will be more like Allah pak does not what you to come yet. Is this right or wrong? Do you need to make the niyyat for anything before you can say that Allah did not want you to do this etc?
Q: When a women visits Makkah and Madina, would it be better for her 2 spend most of her time in the Haram and perform her salaahs behind the imaam OR should she only visit the Haram when she intends to make tawaaf and stay in her room majority of the time?
