Q.        Is it a must to have Wudu’ during most rituals of Hajj and particularly during Tawaaf?

A.        Ablution is a must for Tawaaf.   If it is invalidated while circumambulating the Ka’bah, one must break the Tawaaf, perform ablution and then resume. Ablution is not a must for the other rituals. Allaah Knows best.

Q.        Is it permissible for a woman to use some pills to stop her menses during the days of Hajj?  

A.        There is no objection for doing so. Allaah Knows best.

Q.        Our wives and sisters cover their faces and wear gloves, should they stay covered or show their faces and hands?  

A.        It is preferable for a lady who is used to cover her face to still do so; she can pull her own scarf over her face, or she can cover with a scarf coming from the back of the head.  In other words, she cannot wear her regular cover if it is the kind that has an opening for the eyes (Niqaab).  As for the hands, they should be uncovered.  She is prohibited to wear gloves. Allaah Knows best.
