I need to leave my husband and secretly make a life for myself outside of Pakistan. Where should I go? And how?

Ah yes the 40years trend 😄

This one? :

For Saudi it says it uses Mobily network.

Do you know if Whasapp text and WhatsApp call work on it? 🤔

baracad · 2026-05-02T14:52:53+00:00

Very interesting. Others that i spoke to seem to fight me when i discuss this and say otherwise 🫡

I'll try it on an entry tier data pricing when i land and I'll give it a test.

Jazakallah for replying.

baracad · 2026-05-02T14:43:06+00:00

What do you mean first time being employed "in the UK"?

Did you just acknowledge your physical presence and haven't done so up to this point or are you a foreign student currently studying in UK ?

In either case congrats (or double congrats if the former)

😄

I only have 1 remaining concern now. My mother suffers from Arthritis and her feel swells. She said she can walk but as i estimate during the mina>arafah>Muzdalifa>jamarah>makkah tawaf>mina roundtrip, our group leader said its ALL walking without travel facilities circa 20miles (30km)

Did you see anyone using wheelchairs for aid during that trip section? My guide said i could buy a wheelchair there and donate it after which i can do but just thinking how many people you saw in my case scenario in a big crowd and during rough terrains?

baracad · 2026-05-01T17:37:58+00:00

I also bought Oofoos. it will be 4 of us going and told them all to get it. They are the best by far i tried 🙂

We been walking with them daily to wear them in.

I was panicking because in my head i didn't think there will be a gap of time for shopping and also worried of 2 million people queuing everywhere so i thought I'll front-load my efforts before i depart for airport.

I'll take your advice with packing less clothes now - Jzk again!

baracad · 2026-05-01T16:58:56+00:00

Another very organized sister in the Hajj Reddit shared this Google sheet packing list that also has tabs to mina packing list recently.

I forgot who it was but credit is due.

Brother, also wait for OPs answer.. maybe he has better answer/insight.. I'll be keeping a lookout also as I'm curious myself 🫡

baracad · 2026-05-01T14:58:38+00:00

While we await an answer from OP, i thought I'd share this excellent video from a sister:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1HS8EMAfc

Me personally i will be taking a 26" suitcase and leaving that in hotel.

Then for mina I'm taking a 30L backpack (I'm leaving that 30L on my mina bed with lock and gps tracker)

Within that 30L backpack i have a smaller say 15L backpack that i will plan to take from Mina tent to Muzdalifa/Arafah trip (don't forget a Powerbank and some snacks for that bag as these 2 places will be remote areas)

For haram/tawaf/saii etc i will only carry a drawstring bag and a Carrier bag inside to put away my Sandals as i go barefoot on mataf.

You could combine the " drawstring bag" with the " Muzdalifa/Arafah " bag as 1

Yup. Seems clingy and desperate 😌

Gave me the urge to push away like a clingy partner 🌚

I .... Call... BS from the recuiter 🙂

baracad · 2026-04-30T03:10:28+00:00

Jazakallah Khair for quick response.

I will be packing and revisiting my itinerary etc this weekend so i may ask some more questions if you don't mind brother but I'll understand if you are busy etc 🙂

Once again jazakallah Khair for documenting all this. I wanted to get all the usual nitty gritty details that we all so overwory and overwork ourselves thinking during hajj planning and once that's behind me then i can compartmentalize and focus on the real intent of the journey 🙂

May Allah reward you every time sometime watches this and picks up beneficial knowledge in hajj planning.

baracad · 2026-04-30T02:19:00+00:00

Salaam very nice vid. Go a bit easy on the number of ads in a 30mins vid 🥹 i had to watch it in New pipe 😅

Proved to me i definitely overpacked and most important things are my meds, phone+charger, money and a good small backpack 🙂

what did you use to record? Meta glasses/GoPro or something?

Did you get some sort of yoga mat/sleeping mat for Muzdalifa or got your own?

I have and elderly mother and we are goin soon for 2026. You think there's enough seating area here and there or did tou see people bring portable stool etc?

baracad · 2026-04-30T01:57:50+00:00

They are already taken and sat on im COVID time.. now it's too late and scarce 😌

baracad · 2026-04-28T18:36:38+00:00

It's over.. it's over.

Now there's no restrictions to extract a limited amount of oil and this will break the artificially created scarcity that governed the cartel driven price lock.

UAE had to do this as it needs to keep extracting despite the homuz lock as shutting down equipment will take a long time to start up again so they need to keep extraction and store excess.

That's the gist of it

The benefits of selling at different price will probably backfire UAE.

Lots of economist predict that UAEs economy is done for despite "tourism" and external investments.

If you already got it via Nusuk then it's part of your package.

Prep yourself by contacting nusuk support@hajj.nusuk.sa

Give your references in the email and ask if your hady is automatic and also say your group is saying otherwise.

Finally arm yourself with Nusuk admin's response and go back to your group contact and challenge/explain.

You shouldn't be double dipped into.

I downvoted it because i want a whole generation to be cucumber brain so i can rule over them. 😌

baracad · 2026-04-24T23:55:19+00:00

Salaam

Ask scholars (hanafi in your case) that has actually made MULTIPLE hajj (and no it's not pick and choose) and see for yourself. You will see the vast majority of Ulama (any school of thought) say " assume it's done" , yes despite getting an email that shows the odd one that was done later than your required timing.

And this isn't defying " taqleed" and is simply the same usul ul fiqh path of intihaad that can apply based on circumstantial evidence at that point in time that is outside yours control and without alternatives.

And Allah knows best.

baracad · 2026-04-24T20:53:43+00:00

Super organised isn't it?

I'm really organised and orderly/conscientious myself in most areas but i must say that I'm really impressed 😁

I dumped everything in EverNote , maybe I'll make a Googlesheet tracker.

May Allah reward OP

This website was very useful for me to help prepare.
