Delays leaving Mina until after sunset; what to do?
I performed Hajj, praise be to Allah, with a group from Kuwait.

She performed ‘Umrah during her menses
I intended to perform ‘Umrah with my husband last Ramadan, but I was surprised by the monthly menses on the day of travelling.

Hady and cases when it is obligatory
My wife and I performed Hajj this year. We slaughtered only one sheep as hady (sacrifice for Hajj).

A valid yet rewardless Hajj
I work in bank which deals in interest. There are no Islamic banks in my country. My question is: Is my money and earning considered unlawful? If it is unlawful, what about the ‘Umrah that I intend to perform during the next month of Ramadan? Will it be accepted by Allah or not? .. More

Authorizing someone to throw pebbles without a valid excuse entails offering a sacrificial animal
A few years ago, I performed Hajj, all praise be to Allah. On the first day of tashreeq (i.e. the 11th of Thul-Hijjah) and after throwing at Jamrat Al-‘Aqabah (stoning of the devil), my mother fell to the ground due to the heavy throng. Therefore, my brother took my mother's pebbles to throw them on her behalf and I insisted that my mother and all.. More

Invalid to perform ‘Umrah on behalf of more than one person
I intend to perform ‘Umrah for myself and my dead mother.

I also heard that I should hold the intention before departing my homeland.. More

Expiation is not required for delaying ‘Umrah to the next day
I assumed Ihram and I intended to travel to perform ‘Umrah with my wife and her mother outside the months of Hajj.

I did that out of ignorance. I did not.. More

I am a girl from Egypt. I am going to perform ‘Umrah, Allah willing, in the beginning of (the month of) Safar.
