He entered the state of ihram for Hajj and then engaged in the secret habit on the Day of Arafah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: I am informing you that I am currently forty-six years old (46). I performed the obligatory Hajj when I was fifteen years old (15) and had reached puberty. Due to my ignorance and young age, I was overcome
by Shaytan, and I engaged in the secret habit until semen was emitted. This occurred on the evening of the Day of Arafah, and I was in the state of ihram, as the type of Hajj was tamattu'. I repented at that moment, went quickly, and performed the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity, and I completed my Hajj. My question, O honorable Shaykh, is: First: Is that Hajj valid as the obligatory Hajj, or must it be repeated? Second: If it is not valid, what about the Hajjs that followed it? I performed Hajj sixteen years later on behalf of my mother (may Allah have mercy on her), and then I performed it six years after that on behalf of my grandmother (may Allah have mercy on her). I ask you to clear my conscience with a satisfactory answer.
A: The questioner's Hajj is a valid Hajj that suffices for the Hajj of Islam. His emission of semen through the secret habit has no effect on the validity of his Hajj, except that he committed one of the prohibitions of ihram. Therefore, he must sacrifice a sheep in Makkah for the poor of the Haram . If he cannot find one, he must fast for ten days.
