Question:
May Allah reward you and benefit you with your knowledge. This is a letter from the sender, Ahmad al-Qarni, from al-Bahah. It contains several questions. She says at the beginning: I am a girl who is 19 years old. I performed Hajj to the House of Allah the Exalted in the year 1416, and I was 16 years old at the time. Until now, I feel that I was boasting about this Hajj and telling my classmates about it. I have now regretted that, and I felt that my Hajj was not free from showing off and desire for fame. Is my Hajj valid or not? And what is required of me regarding that? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Your Hajj is valid, if Allah wills. Praise be to Allah. As for what you did of informing people about it, if it was out of showing off, then there is a sin upon you. You must repent to Allah the Exalted and not continue to boast about your deeds and mention them to people. This is not permissible for you. You must repent and leave this action. As for your Hajj, it is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
