The Ruling on Repeating Hajj for One Who Performed It While Being Negligent in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I used to be negligent in performing the prayers in the past, but I have returned, and praise be to Allah, and I have started to be consistent with my prayers in the mosque with the congregation. However, I performed the obligatory Hajj when I was negligent. Do I have to repeat Hajj a second time to clear my conscience?
Answer:
If by negligence he means that he abandoned the prayer, and a period passed during which he abandoned the prayer and he performed Hajj during that time while abandoning the prayer, then he must repeat the Hajj. But if by negligence in prayer he means that he does not pray with the congregation or does not pray at the beginning of the time, then his Hajj is valid, if Allah wills, with repentance to Allah. Yes.
