Question
When the ladies make Ziyaarat of Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), there is a lot of pushing, fighting and screaming. Total disrespect to Our Beloved Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is shown. Last week on Friday, whilst a lady was in Sajdah in Riyadhatul Jannat, she was trampled on her neck and passed away. I am nervous now when I go for Ziyaarat. Can I make salaam stand within the area, but away from the crowd of women performing disgustingly?
Answer
Stay far from the ignorant women who commit even murder at the Raudhah Mubaarak. Stand far, very far from the crowd and offer Salaams to Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Do not venture near to the insane ignoramuses. Instead of ziyaarat, they commit kabeerah sins at the Raudhah Mubaarak.
You may stand at the perimeter of the area or even outside to recite the Salaams. Your Salaams and Durood will, Insha- Allah, reach Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
Umrah from South Africa, where is the Meeqaat? Some say that Ihraam has to be compulsorily donned when the plane is in line with Yalamlam. This is announced in the plane. Others say that Ihraam may be donned in Jeddah. What is the correct view?
A. The Ihraam may be delayed until Jeddah. It has to be donned compulsorily in Jeddah. It may be donned even in Johannesburg, but Jeddah is the Meeqaat for those coming from the South. Although there is another view, we follow the first view.
