My mother will get her share of inheritance and wants to help me with the costs of my study. I told her that it is better for her to go to Hajj. I argued that one does not know when he will die and that one may not find money in the future if he delays Hajj. She replied that after I complete my study, I will be able to send her along with my father.. More
I live in France and would like to perform Hajj in the company of my fourteen-year-old son, who has attained the age of puberty and has become legally competent for religious assignments. The Saudi embassy, however, stipulates that the Mahram (permanently unmarriageable kin) for a woman under forty-five years old should be at least fifteen years old... More
Allaah willing, I will offer an udh-hiyah (sacrificial animal) from my own property, given that I am an employee. Do the conditions of the udh-hiyah apply to my husband, such as letting the beard grow … to the end of rituals?

They actually threw the pebbles before noon, then left Mina for Al-Bayt Al-Haram, and performed.. More

In the last season of Hajj, it happened that it was very cold in Muzdalifah, and when the people departed from ‘Arafat, a woman stumbled into a hole due to crowdedness and her ankle was sprained, and this caused her to be moved from a place to another carried or driven by a truck. Furthermore, when we went to Muzdalifah, the driver did not arrive.. More
I belong to a Muslim community and am planning to perform Hajj this year, Allaah willing. The community I belong to demands various compulsory funds that are not related to the cost of Hajj, which I am prepared to pay for, while I am not prepared to pay for these other funds. I want to find out what I can do if they do not accept my application because.. More
Apparently, there are some Muslim scholars who have ruled that committing bestiality does not invalidate the Hajj or fasts. Is this true? If it is, then how come sexual intercourse between a married couple does invalidate these religious activities but bestiality does not?

Assalaamu alaykum. My son would like to take care of all the expenses for Hajj for his father. However, my son did not make Hajj himself yet although he would surely love to do so Allaah willing. So he thought of letting his father go first as he (his father) is not able to pay for the Hajj trip and so on himself. Is it possible in this case that, even.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. A person performing Tamattu' Hajj from Pakistan performed 'Umrah and then went to Madinah. On returning from Madinah, he did not perform 'Umrah, nor did he assume the state of ihraam (ritual consecration). Is there any penalty for not performing 'Umrah on returning from Madinah as he went out of the meeqaat (places where the pilgrims.. More
When our agent informed my father that he had slaughtered, I trimmed my nails first and then cut my hair to end my state of ihram. Does that invalidate my Hajj? Also, if a person forgets to say takbeer (Allaahu Akbar) before throwing a stone, then what should they do? I am not sure that I forgot, but it is just a feeling/suspicion. May Allaah reward.. More
Assalaamu alaykum dear scholars. My question is the following: If a person saves money in order to perform the Hajj for his deceased brother (he has performed his own Hajj) but later on plans for IVF from this money as he has no child, then what should he give preference to? Perform hajj or go for IVF?
