2 Can a sick person appoint another to perform Haj on his behalf Mon 31 Aug 2015

Haj was Fardh on a particular person. He was ready to fulfil his obligation of Haj. However, before performing his Haj he was afflicted with illness. The doctors have said that it will be difficult for him to recover before 4 – 6 months. Can this person appoint another to perform Haj on his behalf?

3 Performing Haj with Haraam funds Mon 31 Aug 2015

Khalid has unjustly taken possession of Zaid’s land. If Khalid performs Haj will his Haj be accepted or not?

The sin of unjustly usurping the land of another is a separate sin but the obligation of Haj will be discharged. This means that the person will not receive any reward for peforming Haj. However, if one performed Haj with Haraam wealth, it will not be accepted.

16 Compensating for Mistakes made during Umrah Wed 01 Jul 2020

Question: 

I would like to ask a few questions regarding my Umrah:

1. Once when it was windy, the Ihram cloth blew on my face for a couple of seconds. My wife was wearing a cap, but her scarf also blew on her face 2/3 times for a few seconds and she pushed it back. Do we need to give penalty?

2. I am not sure but I THINK I MAY have applied soap to my finger tips. I have a habit of doing that before Wudhu but I’m not sure whether I actually did it or not. I’m just having doubts regarding it. Do I need to give penalty?

18 Returning from Hajj without performing Tawaaf Ziyaarat Tue 07 Jul 2020

Question: 

A lady performed Hajj, but returned without performing Tawaaf Ziyaarat. What is the ruling with regard to Damm and rectifying her error? How should she rectify her error? 


Answer: 

If a person omits Tawaaf-e-Ziyaaret then intimacy with his spouse will not be permitted throughout his life. As for a woman, her Ihraam will remain and she will have to make Tawaaf in the same Ihraam. Paying some sort of compensation (in lieu of omitting the Tawaaf) will not suffice.
