A person who goes for hajj badal for some one, must first go for his hajj/umrah or he can just go for the first time for others?
Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa
Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
dear
brothers
pls. answer these 3 questions
1) can a female grow nails?
2) we muslims generally use the word "ALLAH` & continue to say `ALLAH`
We should not use the work "GOD" because GOD has female gender
GODDESS. ALLAH has no gender. In my opinion, it will be a shirk to say God.
pls. shade light on this issue.

Answer:
Hajj Transfer for another
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person,
no grave, no prophet, no
imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah
Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the
seal of His Messengers.
Your
Question: can a female grow nails?
The Prophet (saws) said "Five things are
in accordance with
Hadrat Anas ibn Maalik (r.a.), the noble
companion who served the Prophet (saws) for ten years said: "The time
period for us to trim the moustache, cut the nails, pluck out the
underarm hairs and cut the pubic hairs was forty nights."

The clipping of the nails is what is described by the
Messenger of Allah (saws) as being in accordance with ‘Fitra’ or
the perfect nature of mankind, and the time period mentioned by the noble
companions to clip one’s nails was forty nights.
For one, regardless of whether one be a male or a female,
to let their nails grow beyond a period of 40 days would be an act against the
‘fitrah’ or the perfect nature of mankind.
Your
Question: we muslims generally use the word "ALLAH` & continue to say
`ALLAH` We should not use the work "GOD" because GOD has female
gender GODDESS. ALLAH has no gender. In my opinion, it will be a shirk to say
God. pls. shade light on this issue.
Without an iota of a doubt, the name that our Lord Creator
has chosen for Himself is ‘Allah’, and the believers must use this
blessed Name when referring to Him.
Not only does the term ‘God’ which is used as
a ‘loose’ translation in the English language has a female gender (goddess),
the term can also be used without a capital ‘G’ in the English
language to mean a smaller ‘god’, and it also has a plural form to
mean many ‘gods’!!!
The true equivalent of the English language
‘god’ would be ‘ilaah’ in the Arabic language; but
because of the severe limitations of the English language, when the term
‘God’ is used with a capital ‘G’, it refers to the One
and Only Lord and Creator of the Heavens and the Earth and everything that
exists in between.
Although it is indeed best and most suitable and accurate
to use the blessed term and name ‘Allah’ when referring to the One
and Only Lord Creator, to declare that using its English translation of ‘God’
(with a capital ‘G’) would be an act of the unforgivable abomination of ‘shirk’
would be too harsh a judgment!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah
Israa verses 110-111:
110 Say: "Call upon ‘Allah’ or call upon
‘Ar-Rahmaan’: by whatever name ye call upon Him (it is well): for
to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, nor
speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between."
111 Say: "Praise be to Allah Who begets no son and has no partner
in (His) Dominion: nor (needs) He any to protect Him from humiliation: Yea
magnify Him for His Greatness and Glory!"
Your Question: a
person who goes for hajj badal for some one, must first go for his hajj/umrah
or he can just go for the first time for others?
Narrated Hadrat Ibn 'Abbas that a woman of the Juhainah
tribe came to the Prophet (saws), and said, 'My mother had vowed to perform
pilgrimage (Hajj), but she died
before she could fulfill her vow.
Should I do it on her behalf?' The Prophet (saws) said, 'Yes. Perform Hajj on her behalf. Would you not pay the debt of your
mother if she had owed someone?
Fulfill it. Allah is
more deserving of receiving payment for what is due to Him'."
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 1806 Narrated by Abu Razin
A man of Banu Amir
said: “O Messenger of Allah (saws), my father is very old, he cannot
perform Hajj and Umrah himself, nor
can be ride on a mount.”
He (saws) said:
“Perform Hajj and Umrah on behalf of your father.”
Although it is not a stipulated or obligatory condition of ‘hajje-badal’ in Shariah, it is highly recommended that the person performing the Hajj for someone, should have fulfilled his own obligation of Hajj prior to doing it for someone else.
A person performing ‘hajje-badal’ for another without having performed his own, would be as wise as one who has a huge debt himself, but he utilizes his energy in fulfilling the debt of another!
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the
Only Source of Strength.
