Q: I performed `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) along with my family in 1408 A.H and assumed Ihram (ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) for `Umrah while I had my menstrual period. After I arrived in Makkah, I performed Tawaf circumambulation of the Ka`bah) but did not perform Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj and `Umrah) between Al-Safa and Al-Marwah since I had doubts about the validity of these acts during my present state. I then left with my family. In 1410 A.H., I performed `Umrah once again with my family but I didn't intend it to make up for the last `Umrah; my intention was to perform a new one. In 1414 A.H., I got married, consummated my marriage and had a son. I contacted the Dar Al-Ifta' and they informed me that I had to inform Your Eminence for a correct Fatwa (legal opinion issued by qualified Muslim scholar). For this reason, I request a Fatwa about the status of the `Umrah I mentioned in the question and whether my second `Umrah stands for the first. Did I remove my Ihram with my third `Umrah? And do I have to make up for the first `Umrah which I performed in 1408 A.H.? Is my marriage contract valid? If it is null and void, what should I do? I hope you will convey my inquiry to the Grand Mufty of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to give me a Fatwa as to what is legally required. May Allah protect (Part No. 10; Page No. 380) and safeguard you.
