Hajj of one who slaughtered for other than Allah out of ignorance, then repented
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Salih, this questioner says: A man had some ignorance regarding the creed, so he used to slaughter for other than Allah. During this period, he performed the Hajj. After he returned to his country, he studied the religion and realized that he was in error and had great ignorance in matters of the creed. So he repented from that action. He asks about the validity of this Hajj and whether he must perform the Hajj again in its place?
The Shaykh:
If he performed the Hajj and did not repent from the shirk, his Hajj is not valid. That is, if he repents and it becomes clear to him that he was in error, and he repents to Allah, he must repeat the Hajj to perform it while upon the correct creed. Yes.
The questioner:
And ignorance is not an excuse.
The Shaykh:
Ignorance is not an excuse, and he lives among the Muslims, hears the Qur'an, hears the dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and reads in books in his language. The questioner? Yes.
