What is the ruling for someone who cannot stand at Arafat during the legally prescribed time determined by the infallible Imam—for example, when the true Day of Arafah is a day later than the day observed by others, and the believers cannot go to Arafat after the other group has already performed the standing there before the legal time?
When I went for Hajj I tried to maintain spiritual focus during the rites, especially tawaf, but being crowded by unrelated men caused me to lose humility and concentration. What should a woman do? I feel that my Hajj is deficient and this pains me deeply.

Is it permissible to go for Hajj by means that violate man-made law, whether in the person’s own country or in Saudi Arabia?

It is stated in The Laws that Hajj al-Tamattu‘ is the duty of one whose home is 22 km or more from Mecca. On the side of the person’s home, is the distance measured from the house itself or from the edge of the town in which he lives?
If there are two routes from a person’s residence to Mecca, one shorter than 22 km and the other longer than that, must he perform Hajj al-Tamattu‘ or Hajj al-Ifrad?

For pilgrims from inside Saudi Arabia, there are two ways to enter Mecca for Hajj: either obtaining an expensive government permit, or entering while wearing sewn clothing so that one is not questioned or stopped. If a pilgrim wears sewn clothing in this situation, is an expiation required?
When rulings depend on Mecca and Medina, do “Mecca” and “Medina” mean only their old boundaries, or do they include the later urban expansions?
If a person enters ihram for an individual ‘umrah, completes its rites, remains in Mecca until the days of Hajj, and then wants to perform Hajj al-Tamattu‘ for himself or on behalf of someone else, may he enter ihram for the ‘umrah of Tamattu‘ from the nearest point outside the Haram, or must he go out to one of the miqats?
I am now in Mecca to perform an individual ‘umrah, and I want to perform another ‘umrah on behalf of my father. Is it valid for me to perform ghusl and put on the two ihram garments at the hotel, then go to the miqat—Masjid al-Tan‘im—and recite the talbiya and enter ihram there? Or must the ghusl and putting on the ihram garments take place at the miqat?

We entered to perform Tawaf al-Nisa’, but because of the severe crowding we were prevented from performing tawaf around the Kaaba. We went up to the first level and began tawaf. After completing the first circuit, we saw that access had been opened for tawaf near the Kaaba, so we went down and continued the tawaf immediately and consecutively from where we had stopped. Is this tawaf valid, or must a new tawaf be started from the beginning?
May a woman perform tawaf and sa‘i before the overnight stay in Mina even when she does not fear the onset of menstruation, but only fears crowding and contact with men?

A pilgrim may be unable to slaughter in Mina or in the areas near it. What is his duty?
Some believers from Algeria live in a community that follows a different religious practice. They ask whether they may slaughter the Eid sacrifice on the Day of Arafah as taqiyya and to avert harm, because that day coincides with Eid in their social environment.
