Question:
One of the sisters sent us a question in which she says: Shaykh Salih, my husband and I got into a quarrel, and I used foul language toward him, and he returned the same insults. We were at the Muzdalifah station, and that was on the seventh day of Dhul-Hijjah. Is our Hajj valid? And do we owe an expiation?
Answer:
Your Hajj is valid, if Allah wills, but you have sinned regarding the foul words that occurred between you, so you must seek forgiveness and repent to Allah. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:197]. Therefore, the one in ihram must protect his ihram from things that affect it. In any case, what happened from you was a mistake, so you must be tolerant with each other and seek Allah's forgiveness for what happened in your ihram. Yes.

Answer:
Your Hajj is valid, if Allah wills, but you have sinned regarding the foul words that occurred between you, so you must seek forgiveness and repent to Allah. Allah the Exalted said:
Hajj is [during] well-known months, so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of ihram], there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajj.
الْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَّعْلُومَاتٌ فَمَن فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ الْحَجَّ فَلَا رَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوقَ وَلَا جِدَالَ فِي الْحَجِّ
