The answer to your question is as follows:
If a pilgrim unknowingly passed through Muzdalifah before Fajr and performed the Wuquf (obligatory stay) at Mina and later realized that they did not stay at Muzdalifah at all, a wājib (obligatory act) of Hajj has been missed. This is because staying in Muzdalifah for some time after Fajr is a required obligation of Hajj.
Therefore: If you did not enter Muzdalifah at all and instead offered the Fajr prayer and stayed in Mina, a dum (sacrifice of a sheep or goat) becomes obligatory upon you as a penalty.
However, if you did enter Muzdalifah but mistakenly believed it to be Mina, and performed the Wuquf, and supplications, and prayers there, no dam is required — provided that the location was indeed within the boundaries of Muzdalifah.
And Allah knows best.

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم: ۔ سرسوں کا تیل خوشبودار تیلوں میں شامل نہیں ہےتاہم اسے سر پر لگانے کی وجہ سے زینت کا درجہ حاصل ہوجاتاہے ، اس لئے اس کے استعمال سے کوئی دم لازم نہ ہوگا البتہ اس کے لگانے سے بھی حالت احرام میں پرہیز کرنا چاہئے۔
بدائع الصنائع في ترتيب الشرائع (2/ 190): "ولو ادهن بدهن فإن كان الدهن مطيبا كدهن: البنفسج، والورد، والزئبق، والبان، والحرى، وسائر الأدهان التي فيها الطيب فعليه دم إذا بلغ عضوا كاملا. وحكي عن الشافعي أن البنفسج ليس بطيب، وأنه غير سديد؛ لأنه دهن مطيب فأشبه البان وغيره من الأدهان المطيبة، وإن كان غير مطيب بأن ادهن بزيت أو بشيرج فعليه دم في قول أبي حنيفة، وعند أبي يوسف ومحمد عليه صدقة".
الفتاوى الهندية (1/ 224): "ولايمس طيباً بيده، وإن كان لايقصد به التطيب، كذا في فتاوى قاضي خان ولا يدهن كذا في الهداية".

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم:۔ عمرہ کرانے کے لئے ذمہ دار نے جو رقم طے کرکے لے لی وہ اس کی ہے اب وہ اس رقم کو اپنے استعمال میں لائے یا سرمایہ کاری میں لگائے اس کو مکمل تصرف کا حق ہے۔ اس رقم کے بدلے میں وہ عمرہ کرانے کا پابند ہے چاہے عمرہ میں جمع شدہ رقم سے کم خرچ ہو یا زیادہ۔ اس لئے عمرہ ایجینٹ کا آپ سے رقم وصول کرکے اس کو سرمایہ کاری میں لگانا درست ہے۔

The answer to your question is as follows:
It should be noted that as it is preferable for women to perform daily prayers at home in their homeland, in the same way it is preferable for women to pray at their residences (hotels) in Makkah and Madinah without attending congregational daily prayers or Friday prayer. To pray the salah in the hotels, will be rewarded the same as in Haramain. However, when women go to visit the House of Kaba or the Rauza of the Prophet (saws), they can pray in congregation daily prayers or Friday prayer in Haramain. But they must not pray in Muhazat of men. So the question of attending just Friday prayer is meaningless.

The protection of human life is very important in Islam; Self-destruction is strictly forbidden in the holy Quran. Therefore, one should not travel to a place where the pandemic is severe. However, in the current situation, if travelling is necessary, one can travel with precautions.

We found Ahadith about prayers in Masjid e Nabawi which are hereunder:
* The reward of a prayer offered in Masjid Nabawi is equal to 1000 prayers in any other masjid except Masjid Al-Haram. (Muslim Hadith No. 1394)
* A person who offers forty prayers consecutively in my Masjid (Masjid Nabawi), without missing a prayer in between, will secure immunity from the fire of Hell, and from other punishments and also from hypocrisy. (Musnad e Ahmad – Musnad Anas Bin Malik, Hadith No. 12583)

The answer to your question is as follows:
(i) Using menses control pills may harm a woman. Hence, it is better that she does not use the pills. Though using the pills is allowed due the severe needs as detailed in the question. Nevertheless, if a woman couldn’t take pills and menses started. Now the situation is that while she is still going through menses, the departure time has arrived and she is yet to perform Tawaf-e Ziyarat. In this case, the woman should wear sanitary pads and perform Tawafe Ziyarat. Along with this, she must also slaughter an animal, such as camel, in the Haram premises. However, she will not be obligated to sacrifice the animal if she becomes pure and is able to perform the tawaf in a condition of purity.

(ii) If the woman couldn’t do tawafe Wadaa and menses started then she should do nothing for it. She will not be required to offer any sacrifices etc.

The answer to your question is as it follows:
Shawwal and Zi-qada are the month of Hajj, but performing Umrah or visiting Makkah in these months doesn’t make the Hajj obligatory upon him if he doesn’t have capacity to fulfill the Hajj. Moreover, performing hajj is obligatory only once in a lifetime. Likewise, if he returns home after performing Umrah, and then goes for Hajj the same year, it will not be Hajj e Tamattu owing to the previous Umrah, but it is hajj e Ifrad (without Umrah). For Hajje Tamattu, it is compulsory to perform Hajj and Umrah both in one journey.
