The pilgrim's repentance for the lewdness that occurs during Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. He says: I performed the obligatory Hajj in the year 1999 with my wife and my daughter, who was one year old at the time. We went with some of the brothers from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, where we reside. During this journey, there were some behaviors from the brothers on that trip that are not befitting in such circumstances, such as quarreling and some matters that are not recommended in such an obligatory act. I was also involved in a verbal altercation with one of the brothers. This was on the twelfth day of Dhul-Hijjah, as we had a departure scheduled for the morning of the next day. I am very remorseful for this action, for Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: "and no
no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajjرَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوقَ وَلَا جِدَالَ فِي الْحَجِّ
[Al-Baqarah 2:197]
". So guide me, is there anything obligatory upon me? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is obligatory for you to repent to Allah and seek forgiveness, because the one in the state of ihram for Hajj avoids what Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has forbidden. Although he is obligated to do so in all his states, in the state of ihram, it becomes more emphasized for him to avoid what Allah has forbidden. For this reason, He said:
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. Andفَمَن فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ الْحَجَّ فَلَا رَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوقَ وَلَا جِدَالَ فِي الْحَجِّ وَمَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:197]
. Since the inappropriate situations you mentioned occurred among you, you should seek forgiveness and repent, and Allah forgives whoever repents. Yes.
