Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It is reported in a hadith of Abu Hurayrah in the two Sahihs that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever performs Hajj and does not commit lewdness or sin returnsJami` at-Tirmidhi 866Da'if (Darussalam).” He asks: Does this mean that major sins are forgiven by this Hajj?
Answer:
By Allah, that is the apparent meaning, but the other texts indicate that the expiation of sins is for minor sins, not major sins. Major sins require repentance. Yes.
