Q 1: I went to perform Hajj. We reached Makkah on the second of Dhul-Hijjah to first offer `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) at 2 AM. Since that the journey from home was by coach, we were exhausted when we arrived. I entered Al-Haram-ul-Makky while in the state of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah). But I remembered that I had not performed wudu' (ablution) before my entering, and I did not know where the bathroom was. (Part No. 10; Page No. 241) So, I found some water vessels in Al-Haram and I was wearing the Niqab (face veil), so I wiped over my arms instead of washing them because there were many men around and I did not want to uncover my `Awrah (parts of the body that must be covered in public). Then, I went to perform `Umrah and when I completed it I made Tahalul (removal of the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) by shortening some hair beside my ears. Is my `Umrah valid in this case? What should I do if it is invalid, taking into consideration that I was going to perform Tamattu` Hajj (`Umrah during the months of Hajj followed by Hajj in the same year with a break in between).
