Day Questions

If one performs Umrah, does it remove his sins? If yes, does this include major sins as well? Is it true that when one leaves the sacred place in Mecca after performing Umrah it’s as if he or she was born again?

It has been reported that Umrah is expiation from sin and this is a manifestation of God's mercy and kindness to His slaves when He legislated for them certain acts of obedience that lead to forgiveness of sins. This is a common message in the religious texts. Despite that, a devotee should be afraid of his sins so he may become closer to Allah's mercy and acceptance, and this may be an encouragement to perform more good deeds and avoid committing sins. Almighty Allah said: "And those who give that which they give with hearts afraid because they are about to return unto their Lord; these race for the good things, and they shall win them in the race"(23:60-61).

In the West dating is very common. Is it acceptable to date a woman if such meetings are arranged under a contract of temporary marriage? For example, if the dower is my payment for dinner or watching a movie, and we confirm a set period for the marriage, is it permissible?

Yes, it is permissible, as long as both parties understand this to be a temporary marriage contract.

Is it permissible to change my mind and break the fast during a make up fast of Ramadan before noon?

It is permissible to break the fast before Dhuhr time during the make up fast of Ramadan.

How do I know who Ahlul-khibra (people of expertise) are so that I may ask them about the most knowledgeable Mujtahid?

The Ahlul-khibra are those who can recognize the most knowledgeable by his books and verdicts. Those experts can be reached through communicating with the Hawza. If such communication is not possible or determining the most knowledgeable is not possible, a believer is required to choose one of the scholars that reached the level of Ijtihad and possesses the qualities of a Marja and follow him. The chosen should be the most God-fearing amongst them if possible. Otherwise, the believer can choose one of them and follow his verdicts.
