ANSWER:

Touching them is not mandatory while avoiding perfume is while you are in the state of Ihram. 

QUESTION: Can I touch the Kaaba or hijr Ismael while in the state of ihram? Because they are constantly being scented, I heard that touching them would get scent on ourselves so we shouldn’t.

QUESTION: Last year my parents went for Umrah. My mother told me that while doing her 4th tawaf, she passed Maqam Ibrahim, then the adhan was called, so she went to pray. My question is, when she returns, should she start the 4th tawaf again from Hajar al-Aswad or continue from where she left off? And does the gap affect the tawaf?

QUESTION: I am planning for umrah Insha’Allah. I will be flying from Qatar. As soon as I reach, I will perform my first umrah. But I wish to perform a second one too. Is it allowed to perform more than one umrah for oneself per journey? Because I heard that the Prophet only performed one during one journey.
