Q: 51 – Title: InshaAllah I am going for Hajj this year with my husband. I need to know a few things before I leave. please help me.... Question InshaAllah I am going for Hajj this year with my husband. I need to know a few things before i leave. please help me. 1)I have problem of discharge coming out every now and then. Its like I'll make ablution and come for prayer my wudu breaks...sometimes even before starting prayer...other times right in the middle of prayer....how can I perform tawaaf in this case....as i hear it takes quite longer to perform tawaaf 7 times due to crowd. this is a really big issue for me...i just want my hajj to be perfect. 2)Pleaser tell me the way of praying friday prayers...as a woman i hardly ever had a chance to attend one. I pray zuhur instead. Can we perform no prayer during khutba....do we need to listen to khutba even when its not in a language we understand....??? 3)I had a friend. we were room mates for 4 years...at the end of our degree course (after 4 years) we learned that she was qaadiani. it was really a big shock. i have never contacted her ever since then. Now before going for hajj, do i need to ask her for forgiveness as well...???? i mean, we lived together for years... I might have hurt her a few times....but should i seek forgiveness from a qaadiani girl??? or no??? 4) Can we use tissue paper to wipe our nose while in the state of ihraam??? i mean i tend to cry a lot while praying and as a result my nose becomes too watery...how can i wipe it while in ihraam?? 5) Please pray for me to perform hajj in the way our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallim told us....and that if i come back, i don't get busy with the same nonsense again. Answer In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful If putting something inside the vagina will not stop the discharge from exiting it then the following will apply: You should see whether you qualify as a ‘ma’zoor’ (excused) or not. You will qualify as a ma’zoor when the following condition is met: A complete time of salaat elapses in such a way that your discharge does not stop for long enough for you to be able to perform the salaat in complete purity. If such a time is found wherein salaat could be offered with complete purity, you will not be classified as a ma’zoor and the rules of a ma’zoor will not apply to you. Example of a complete time is from the start of Zuhr to the start of Asr. It would be wise to do this test during a salaat time that is of the shortest duration, so that there will be more chances of you qualifying as a ma’zoor. ( ومما يتصل بذلك أحكام المعذور ) شرط ثبوت العذر ابتداء أن يستوعب استمراره وقت الصلاة كاملا وهو الأظهر كالانقطاع لا يثبت ما لم يستوعب الوقت كله ( الفتاوى الهندية: ج 1 ص 45 ط دار الكتب العلمية ) If you do not qualify as a ‘ma’zoor’, then your wudu will break every time you have a discharge. Wudu is a requirement for Tawaaf. Therefore, if your wudu breaks during Tawaaf, you will have to renew your wudu and start the Tawaaf again. However, if you have already done four or more rounds, then you need not start again; instead, continue from where you left off. As for Sa’ee (going from Safa to Marwa seven times) and Wuqoof Arafah (standing in the plain of Arafah), wudu is not a requirement. If you do qualify as a ‘ma’zoor’ in the Shariah, then the rules of a ma’zoor will apply. Some of the rules are: After you make wudu from a discharge, a subsequent discharge will not break your wudu; instead, your wudu will break as soon as the time expires for the current Fardh (compulsory) salaat. For example, if you had a discharge and made wudu during Zuhr time, your wudu will not break because of discharge until Zuhr time expires. However, other things that break the wudu, such as urination, will break your wudu too. If you do not have a discharge and you make wudu because of something else, such as urination, then if you have a discharge after that, your wudu will break -- because the wudu you made was for other than discharge. In other words, your wudu will not break because of discharge (until the expiry of the current salaat time) only if the wudu you made was because of discharge, and not because of something else. If you made wudu and you did not have a discharge during wudu or after wudu, and neither did anything else that breaks wudu take place, then your wudu will not break with the expiry of salaat time. Also important is that once you are classified as a ma’zoor, you will continue to be classified as a ma’zoor as long as you have a discharge at least once during every salaat time. If an entire time passes in which you have no discharge, you will not remain a ma’zoor. Now the ruling will be that each time you have a discharge, your wudu will break. (وفي) حق (البقاء كفي وجوده في جزء من الوقت) ولو مرة ( الدر المختار: ج 1 ص 554 ط دار المعرفة ) 2) Juma prayer consists of two rak’ats. This is offered in a congregation led by the Imam. There are four rak’ats of Sunnah Mu’akkaadah before Juma and four rak’ats of Sunnah Mu’akkadah after Juma followed by two rak’ats of Sunnah Ghair Mu’akkadah, to be offered individually. The Imam gives khutbah (sermon) before Jum’a prayer. It is prohibited to do anything other than listening to the khutbah during this time. 3) It is not permissible to have any sort of relationship or dealings with a Qadyani. It is not even permissible to go to the house of a Qadyani. However, if you have committed some wrong against this person in reference, do seek her forgiveness whenever you get a chance, preferably through email or phone. And abstain from befriending a Qadyani in the future. 4) In the state of Ihraam you cannot wipe your nose with a tissue or a cloth. However, if there is a need, you may clean your nose with your hand. 5) We pray that Allah accepts your Hajj and your pious intentions.
