I was in Makkah for the purpose of performing ‘Umrah, and during my Tawaaf (circumambulation), my ablution was broken, and I did not repeat it due to my unjustifiable shyness in this situation. Perhaps the reason was that there were other families along with me and my family. I was engaged, and the wedding contract was concluded afterwards, given.. More
Last year, I performed the obligatory Hajj. On the first day of Tashreeq, we left Mina between 12:30 and 1:00 A.M. in order to perform Tawaaf al-Ifadhah and the Sa‘y (going back and forth between Mount Safa and Mount Marwah) of Hajj. We spent the rest of the night at our dwelling in Makkah. The next day, we returned to Mina once again. The time of.. More
After throwing Jamrat Al-‘Aqabah Al-Kubra on the day of Nahr, the pilgrim should shave his head in order to make the first dissolution of Ihram (ritual state of consecration). Is it due on him to get his head shaved at Mina, or it is permissible for him, after throwing the pebbles, to go to Makkah and get his head shaved there?

What is the ruling on failing to perform Sa‘y (going back and forth between Mount Safa and Mount Marwah) for Hajj? After having performed the farewell Tawaaf (circumambulation), I tried to do the Sa‘y, but I could not complete the seven rounds because the lower part of my foot was inflamed, and I was forced to leave Makkah on the same day. I was.. More
I performed Hajj this year, and it was very crowded. I took my wife and children with me. On the second day of throwing the pebbles, i.e. the day on which one could hasten to leave if he so likes, I threw pebbles before zawal (the time when the sun declines from the middle of the sky) because I feared the crowd for my children. What is the validity.. More
I intended to give an Udh-hiyah (sacrificial animal), but I did not designate it. At the same time, my brother deputized me to offer an Udh-hiyah on his behalf. I then bought four sacrificial animals without designating any of them to myself or to my brother. Is it permissible for me to keep one of those four animals for my family?

I am a fifty-five-year-old woman and would like to perform Hajj and ‘Umrah in the company of my thirty-year-old, mature son. There has been a split between me and my husband for twelve years because of familial problems. I am still 'hanging'; neither separated by divorce nor khul‘ (divorce requested by the wife in which she returns the bridal gift)... More
There is someone who lives in Germany along with his wife and children. Since both he and his wife are jobless, the work circle gives them the residence charge in addition to three hundred and fifty euros for each as well as two hundred euros for the children. This man could save a good sum of money from what is given by the state to him, his wife,.. More
A man went to perform ‘Umrah and saw a girl during Sa‘y (going back and forth between Mount Safa and Mount Marwah).

He heard about the huge risk of.. More

They do not suffer from anything that may impede them from performing Hajj. Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj on her behalf? Somebody told me that it is impermissible.. More
During my Tawaaf (circumambulation) for ‘Umrah around the Ka‘bah, I was carrying my little child and driving the other in a wheelchair. However, I had a very strong suspicion, which was close to certainty, that my child urinated and that the clothing of Ihram (ritual state of consecration) was affected by some filth of which I could not identify..
