Tawaaf

Q: Due to unavoidable circumstance, can one perform Tawaaf-e-Wida in Haj after Tawaf-e-Ziyrah during the days of Qurbani? Example on the 12th Zil Haj morning though Rami of 12th Zil Haj is to be completed.

Q: Is the following correct?

A woman came for Hajj and got her period after she entered ihaam. Her mahram had to leave straightaway and she has no one else in Makkah. What is the ruling?

She should travel with him and remain in ihraam, then she should come back when she has become pure. This applies if she lives in the land of the Two Holy Places, because it is easy to come back and does not involve a great deal of trouble or need a passport etc. But if she is a foreigner and it is difficult for her to come back, then she should tie a piece of cloth over her private part (so that no blood will leak and contaminate the Mosque), and do tawaaf and saa’i, and cut her hair, and end her ‘Umrah on the same journey, because in this case her tawaaf has become necessary, and in cases of necessity things that are ordinarily forbidden are allowed. But she does not have to do tawaaf al-wadaa’ (farewell tawaaf), because menstruating women do not have to do the farewell tawaaf, because of the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told the people that the last thing they should do in Makkah was to circumambulate the Ka’bah, but he exempted menstruating women.

Q: I performed umrah last night. Now I have a doubt if my wudhu broke or not whilst making tawaaf. What must I do?

Q: I have been told that it is permissible to perform tawaaf on behalf of anyone, regardless of his or her status. However, someone else has told me that this is only so, if the person on whose behalf we are offering tawaaf is invalid, poor, too old or deceased. Please clarify.

Q: A person who was doing Saee of Safa Marwa walking got hurt by a wheelchair,will the Saee be valid if he does the remaining Saee from where he left of sitting on a wheelchair? In the above situation the person was able to walk properly the next day, does he need to repeat the Saee walking? If the above scenario is regarding tawaf, what is the ruling?

Q: Is it permissible for a person who has agoraphobia and often has panic attacks to do tawaaf of the Ka'ba sitting in a wheelchair? Will the tawaaf be valid?

Q: If someone, as part of umrah, performs tawaf in the top level mataf (which is made for people with wheelchairs), will the tawaf be valid even if he is healthy and able to perform tawaf on the ground floor? I am asking since a family member is wheelchair bound, and it is easiest if the whole family sticks together and perform umrah together with him rather than splitting up, which would mean that everyone would perform tawaf on the top floor.

Q: Which shoulder must we cover and which must we bare when we enter into Ihram?

Q: I had performed wudhu and ghusl than perform Tawaaf-e-Ziyarat. Now I have a doubt whether my wudhu and ghusl was valid and correct or I had missed something. I am not 100% sure right now. Shaytaan puts doubts in my mind your wudhu and ghusl was not valid. Now what should I do? I am really worried and fear my hajj was invalid.

Q: When wearing the ihraam cloth and making tawaf around the ka'bah, I am afraid that part of my awrah (just below the navel) will be visible at times, especially when flipping the cloth to the idhtibaa' position etc, since I am not used to wearing this cloth. If my awrah shows, will the tawaf still be valid. Will I have to pay any compensation for it?
