Questions regarding Umrah

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Assalam Alaikum.

Can someone kindly share a good source on how to perform Umrah in English or Hindi (audio, video, text all are OK) or Urdu (Audio/video ONLY, I cannot read Urdu fluently!)

Also a couple of questions,

1) I head in this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KtqtsjZzAs (in Urdu language) at around 7:00 min to shave the head before Umrah so that if the hear breaks in the state of Ihram, one will NOT have to give sadqah. But elsewhere I read that one CANNOT shave his head before going to Hajj or Umrah for 10 days? What is the correct opinion?

2) Can women take medicines to postpone their menstrual cycle (period) for Umrah?

Jazaaque Allah Khairan for your answers.

	Salam, I am not a scholar but here what I understood: 1. There is no rulling you have shave or not shave before hajj or umrah. When you already perform umrah/hajj you can not shave (cut hair) till the it has been finished/completed. 2. Yes they can. Again I am not a scholar.
	Salam/Peace, Semar "We are people who do not eat until we are hungry and do not eat to our fill." (Prophet Muhammad PBUH) "1/3 of your stomach for food, 1/3 for water, 1/3 for air"
