The ruling on one who performed Hajj and abandoned prayer, then returned to praying: Is his Hajj valid?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Meaning, he is consistent in his prayer, and guidance is from Allah.

The questioner : Praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh : Meaning, is it possible now, meaning, he performs Hajj a second time, and it is obligatory upon him, or is it the obligatory Hajj of last year? Meaning, how is it?

The questioner : The children, when the children perform Hajj, he is praying.

The Shaykh : Yes, but what is it? He prays, then he abandons prayer a lot.

The questioner : Meaning, after he performed Hajj, he abandoned prayer, and now he has repented.

The Shaykh : As for now, meaning, the repentance is complete, he always prays.

The questioner : I say his first Hajj is valid.

The Shaykh : His first Hajj is valid.

The questioner : And he owes nothing.

The Shaykh : He no longer owes anything.

The questioner : He owes nothing; he asks Allah for steadfastness.
