Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “Whoever performs Hajj and does not commit lewdness or sin returnsJami` at-Tirmidhi 866Da'if (Darussalam).” Some scholars say that this hadith indicates that the accepted Hajj expiates all sins, both minor and major.
Answer:
This is the apparent meaning of the hadith, yes, and some scholars hold this view. However, the correct view, and Allah knows best, is that this hadith is to be understood in light of the other hadiths, which state that the expiation is only for minor sins. It is to be understood in light of the other hadiths, as I have told you more than once: one does not take one side of the evidence and leave the other side. Yes.
