1. HOW LATE CAN I GO FOR HAJJ AND HOW SOON CAN I LEAVE?
You can time your arrival into Jeddah to coincide with the last date for Hajj flights to land at Jeddah and the first date, after Hajj, for flights to leave. Usually about ten days within which you can perform your Hajj but no likelihood of visiting Madina.
2. WHAT IS THE TRAVELLING METHOD THROUGHOUT THE VISIT?
The transfer from Hajj terminal to either Makkah or Madinah by coach will take a long time. You will not be allowed to board until your passport matters are sorted. During the 5 days of Hajj, the main means of transport will be via coach. But, please be prepared for delays throughout. As traffic and other such issues are beyond our control. In a nut shell, the transfers are chaotic and very likely to be delayed for hours. So patience is very important.
3. WHERE CAN I CHANGE INTO IHRAM?
From the prescribed Miqat. However, passengers on airliners should be in Ihram before their flight and should perform the Salat and Niyyat for the Ihram, you must make Niyyat for your Ihram prior to boarding your flight even though the Miqat may be hours after the takeoff. This is a precautionary measure to overcome the likelihood of you being asleep when the Miqat is crossed and no Niyyat having being made.
4. CAN I FLY TO AND FROM MAKKAH AND MADNAH?
No. This is simply because there is no airport in Makkak,. You can fly to Madinah from Jeddah, to travel to Makkah or from Makkah to Madinah via Jeddah. Distance between Jeddah and Makkah is about 45 miles and takes about one and half hours by car.
5. CAN A PERSON CHANGE CLOTHES OF IHRAM TO WASH THEMSELVES?
There is no harm in washing the clothes whilst in ihram. You can also change them for others and wear new or washed clothing.
6. CAN A WOMAN WEAR ANY SORT OF CLOTHES AS HER IHRAM?
Yes, she may enter the ihram in whatever clothing she wants. There is no specific type of clothing that she must wear for ihram. It is best for her to enter the ihram in clothing which is not beautiful and will not attract the one who sees it. This is because she is going to be mixing with men. It should be comfortable and customary.

10. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A FEMALE TRAVEL WITHOUT A MEHRAM?
No. One of the conditions of Hajj, for you as a woman, is that you must travel in the company of your Mehrim, be it your husband, brother, father etc.
