Ruling on Hajj for those who perform ‘Umrah in Shawwal-ul-Mukarram
Question: What do blessed Islamic scholars state about the following issue? We offer ‘Eid-ul-Fitr Salah in the blessed month of Shawwal, wear Ihram, and depart for holy Makkah from holy Madinah with the intention of performing ‘Umrah. Then two to four days after performing ‘Umrah, we depart for our country, Pakistan from holy Makkah. Some people say that whoever has already performed Fard Hajj can return to his native country after going to holy Makkah in Shawwal, but if the one who has not performed Fard Hajj yet enters the boundaries of holy Makkah in the month of Shawwal, he cannot return without performing Hajj.
Give us Shar'i guidance on it. If the person who has not performed Fard Hajj goes to holy Makkah in the month of Shawwal, he cannot return without performing Hajj. Is this correct? (Question by: Imtiaz Ahmad (Gulshan Ravi, Lahore))
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
Answer: For Hajj to become Fard, it is obligatory [for a person] to be able to have provisions along with meeting other conditions [for Hajj]. It is also interpreted as affordability. One should have enough money to bear the expenses of travelling to Makkah Mukarramah, staying there and then returning to his own country and the expenses of his family during this period of Hajj.
Therefore, if someone is present in Makkah Mukarramah in the month of Shawwal and does not have all these expenses, Hajj is not Fard for him, therefore performing Hajj is not obligatory for him either and he can return to his country. It is not obligatory for him to go to perform Hajj until he is able to afford it. In other case, if he has enough money to meet all these expenses, Hajj will become Fard for him. Now in case of expiry of visa if the government deports him, he will be considered to be Mohsar. He can return to his country that year and he will not be a sinner for this reason. It will be obligatory for him to perform Hajj the next year. وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

What do Islamic scholars state about man’s act of making and selling non-Shar’i ring?
Question: What do Islamic scholars state about making and selling a non-Shar’i silver ring such as a masculine ring that weighs more than 4.5 Mashas or carry two stones? Furthermore, what does Sharia say about offering Salah led by the one wearing such a ring? (Question by: Mazhar Attari (Main Sarafa Bazaar, Gujranwala))
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
Answer: It is impermissible and a sin to make, sell and purchase a non-Shar’i silver ring such as a masculine ring weighing more than 4.5 Mashas or carrying two stones because it is Haraam for a man to wear such a ring. Making and selling such a ring is to support a sin and to support a sin is a sin. The one who wears such a ring is an open transgressor. It is a sin to make such a person Imam and his Imamat [the act of leading Salah] is Makrooh-e-Tahreemi. If any Salah has been offered led by him, it is Wajib to repeat it. وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

What do Islamic scholars say about setting a condition for selling goods to specific shopkeepers?
Question: What do blessed Islamic scholars state about the following issue? Zaid is the salesman who buys goods from a company with his own money; he is not an employee of the company. The company lays down a condition for selling goods by setting route to specific shopkeepers. Is this sale permissible? Can Zaid sell the goods to other shopkeepers or not apart from the specific shopkeepers? Question by: Azor Attari (Lahore)
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
Answer: The above-mentioned action of buying and selling is permissible and if Zaid sells the goods to any other shopkeepers apart from the shopkeepers fixed by the company, it is also permissible because in the agreement the condition invalidates the sale which is contrary to the requirement of the agreement and there is a benefit f or the seller or the purchaser or the thing that is sold, whereas there is no benefit for none of the three in the above-mentioned condition. In such a case, condition is invalid condition and sale transaction is permissible.
