Hajj, - Hukm al-Hajj wa'l-'Umrah (rulings on Hajjand 'Umrah), Dought & clear, - * Should he do more Hajj or is once enough?

<img src="http://aydnajimudeen.mywapblog.com/files/1011640-318857191606513-1.jpeg"

Is it good to do more than one hajj or is it better to do only one hajj?.
Praise be to Allaah.
With regard to what is obligatory, Hajj is only required once in a
lifetime. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) addressed us and
said: "O people, Allaah has enjoined Hajj on you, so perform Hajj." A
man said: "Is it every year, O Messenger of Allaah?" He remained
silent until (the man) said it three times. Then the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "If I said
yes it would be obligatory and you would not be able to do it." Then
he said: "Be content what I leave with you, for those who came before
you were destroyed because they asked too many questions and argued
with their Prophets. If I tell you to do something then do as much of
it as you can, and if I tell you not to do something then abstain from
it." Narrated by Muslim, 1337.
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas that al-Aqra' ibn Haabis asked the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "O Messenger of
Allaah, is Hajj every year or just once?" He said: "It is only once,
and whoever does more than that, it is a voluntary (act of worship)."
Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1721; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.
With regard to what is preferable, the more a Muslim does of Hajj, the
better, even if he can do Hajj every year. There are reports which
encourage doing Hajj a great deal, such as the following:
1 - It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked: which deed is
best? He said: "Believing in Allaah and His Messenger." He was asked:
Then what? He said: "Jihad for the sake of Allaah." He was asked: Then
what? He said: "An accepted Hajj." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 26;
Muslim, 83.
2 - It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him)
said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) say: "Whoever does Hajj for the sake of Allaah, and does
not utter any obscenity or commit any immoral action, will go back
(sinless) as on the day his mother bore him." (al-Bukhaari, 1449;
Muslim, 1350).
3 - It was narrated that 'Abd-Allaah ibn Mas'ood said: The Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Make the
Hajj and 'Umrah follow each other closely, for they remove poverty and
sins as the bellows removes the dross of iron, gold and silver, and an
accepted Hajj brings no less a reward than Paradise."
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 810; al-Nasaa'i, 2631. Classed as saheeh by
Shaykh al-Albaani inal-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1200.

Menstruation and Post-Natal bleeding, - Dought& clear, - * There is nothing wrong with a menstruating woman entering al-Madeenah al-Munawwarah

Is it permissible for a woman to enter the sanctuary of Madeenah when she is menstruating? What should she do if she is menstruating and she enters the city of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Menstruating women are not forbidden to enter Makkah or Madeenah. There is nothing in the texts to suggest that they are not allowed to enter these cities. Rather the texts indicate the opposite. The women who come for Hajj and ‘Umrah can be menstruating and the only thing that they are not allowed to do is to circumambulate the Ka’bah. ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) during the Farewell Pilgrimage and she got her menses before she entered Makkah, but he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not tell her not to enter the city until she became pure (her period ended)! Rather he told her to do all the rituals of Hajj except for Tawaaf around the Ka’bah, which she was to delay until she became pure. He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do everything that the pilgrims do, but do not circumambulate the House until you become pure.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 305; Muslim, 1211.
Don’t the women who live in Madeenah also menstruate? Do they go out of the city at that time? The point is that there is nothing wrong with a menstruating women entering Makkah or Madeenah and staying there. It is very clear and there is no need to look for evidence.
With regard to a menstruating woman entering the mosque (whether it is al-Masjid al-Haraam in Makkah, or the Mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in Madeenah, or any other mosque, we have explained in the answer to question no. 33649that it is not permissible for a menstruating woman to enter the mosque.
And Allaah knows best.

Menstruation and Post-Natal bleeding, - Dought& clear, - * She was forced to touch the Mus-haf when she was menstruating

Share

I touched the Mus-haf and read from it when I was menstruating, over a woman who was possessed; she became hysteric and no one could read over her to calm her down. There was no one who could recite well except me, so I was forced to read. What is the ruling on what I did? Is there any sin on me?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible for anyone who does not have wudoo’ (whether they are menstruating or otherwise) to touch the Mus-haf according to the majority of scholars, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No one should touch the Mus-haf except one who is in a state of purity.” Narrated by Maalik inal-Muwatta’, 468; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani inIrwa’ al-Ghaleel, 122.
A menstruating woman may recite Qur’aan without touching the Mus-haf, according to the most correct view, such as if she recites what she has memorized, or if she holds the Mus-haf with a cloth and the like. She may also read from a Qur’aan that includes commentary, as is explained in the answer to question no. 2564, 60213.
You should have avoided touching the Mus-haf directly, and held it with something that would have formed a barrier, such as a clean cloth, or worn gloves, or turned the pages with a stick or pen and the like.
However, something forbidden took place. All you have to do is ask forgiveness of Allaah and repent to Him. We ask Allaah to forgive you, and we ask Him to accept your good deed and reward you for helping your sister.
And Allaah knows best.

Menstruation and Post-Natal bleeding, - Dought& clear, - * Some drops come out of her and she is pregnant. Should she stop praying?

Share

Some coffee-coloured drops came out of my wife and she does not get her period sometimes. Should she fast and pray etc. knowing that she is one and half months pregnant?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Many of the scholars are of the view that a pregnant woman cannot menstruate. This is the view of two imams: Abu Haneefah and Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on them).
See:al-Mughni, 1/443.
This view was also favoured by the scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas.
Others are of the view that a pregnant woman may menstruate. This is the view of Imam Maalik and Imam al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah have mercy on them).
See:al-Majmoo’(2/411-414)
This view was favoured by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem and Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on them).
This is so long as the blood meets the description of menstrual blood and comes at the normal time of menses.
This has been explained in the answer to question no. 23400.
Whatever the case, these drops that have come out from your wife are not menses, because they do not meet the description of menstrual blood and are not occurring at the time of menses.
So your wife is pure (taahir) and she may pray, fast and do all that women who are taahir do.
