Miqat of Hajj

as-salamu alaikum my question is there is alot of controversy about the mikat from nigeria, of course the route is through the red sea and the mikat is around the sea. so what is the best way to put it? from point of travel or as many do, go to medinah do the ziyarah then wear ihram from there. ma assalam. 2) my second question has to do with which day or night is more blessed between arfat and lailatul qadr? 3)my question is about zakkat ? my business is in oil marketing so most of my income is always moving without ever staying for a year. my intention is to calculate my total income for the year and remove zakkat from it, but some learned people said that it has to stay for a year before zakkat is permissable on the money. but most business nowadays hardly will money stay for a year without being used or spent. 3)

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. I passed the miqat (a fixed place at which pilgrims enter ihram) without declaring the intention of ihram, although I was wearing the special clothes and prayed the two rak`ahs of ihram. I delayed the intention, deciding to declare it at the miqat, but I forgot to declare it until I had passed about 10 kilometers from the miqat. I was in `Umrah, so what do I have to do in this case? Jazakum Allahu khayran.

I live in Jeddah. I intended to perform `Umrah and so I entered ihram while I was still at home. I went to the Sacred Precinct of Makkah, but, out of my hand, I could not perform the `Umrah; I did not even start circumambulating the Ka`bah. I went back to Jeddah late during that night. What is the legal ruling concerning this? Is there any expiation required from me?

In sha’ Allah, my husband and I are going to perform Hajj this year. I will be having my monthly period when we leave theUnited States. My question is: Should I enter the state of ihram at the miqat (appointed place to wear ihram) in the plane and do all the rites of `Umrah except the Tawaf and when I make ghusl (ritual cleansing of the body), then do the Tawaf? Or would it be better if I do not assume ihram in the plane and then go back to the miqat and enter the state of ihram for `Umrah after I have performed ghusl? If the first option is better, will I be in the state of ihram for the rest of my period until I make ghusl and then the Tawaf? Also, am I allowed to recite the Qur’an while I am menstruating? Thank you so much. May Allah bless you for all the wonderful work that you do.
