Q: 62 – Title: I am living in Jeddah from the past seven months and have performed Umrah on multiple times. Recently my brothers came for Umrah. One came from Albaha and he stayed at my home for one day and performed Umrah on the second day. He put his Ihram from my home. Question I am living in Jeddah from the past seven months and have performed Umrah on multiple times. Recently my brothers came for Umrah. One came from Albaha and he stayed at my home for one day and performed Umrah on the second day. He put his Ihram from my home. Now I have come to know that he should have put ihram at his home and performed the Umrah first . otherwise if he stayed at my home he should have first gone to Meeqat and put the Ihram there. Now my question is from where should have put the Ihram. If not from my home then what is the nearest point to Jeddah from which he should have put the Ihram. He along with his wife performed the Umrah. Is their Umrah valid or should they offer a sacrifices. If yes, how many, one or two. I also performed the Umrah with them but did cut the hair at home and changed the Ihram after cutting the hair at home. Have I done the wrong thing and should I have cut the hair at Haram only. If yes should I offer a sacrifice for my error. My another brother along with his wife came from Dubai and he had put his Ihram from Dubai. They performed the Umrah and he did cut his hair very short. After performing the Umrah they left for Madina next day and returned back on third day. On the fourth day they again performed the Umrah but they put the Ihram from my home. Should they have gone to Meeqat (nearest to Jeddah) and put the Ihram and done the Umrah after wards. (Which is the nearest point from Jeddah from where we can put the Ihram). Now as he had small hair he did not shave the hair but cut his hair which was less than finger tip size. Is it necessary to share the head if the hair size is less than finger tip size. Now that he has done two mistakes should he offer one sheep or two sheep. His wife cut her hair in the car. Is this method right or wrong. If wrong, should she also offer sacrifice. I sometimes perform Umrah with the intention of performing Umrah on my mother’s behalf who has died 14 years before. Where from should I put the Ihram when I do the Umrah on behalf of my mother. Should I wear it at home (Jeddah) or should it be from the start of Meeqat. If a person does two mistakes, should he offer one sheep or two. Finally please suggest a book or website which provides information about Umrah particularly for the people who live in Jeddah.
