Investing in the benefits of Hajj after returning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How does one who has returned from Hajj invest in what he learned during Hajj and emerge from it with a faith-based education that is free from certain forms of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and certain matters that contradict Islamic religion?
Answer:
Yes, Hajj, as Allah the Exalted said,[Al-Hajj 22:28] and the greatest of its benefits is that a person learns the matters of his religion and his creed, and becomes aware of the mistakes he falls into. When he meets his Muslim brothers and meets the scholars, he benefits. This is in addition to the forgiveness of sins and transgressions. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, Sahih al-Bukhari 1820 So Hajj causes Allah to expiate sins and transgressions, and this is among its benefits. When he returns, he holds onto these benefits; he holds onto the mindfulness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), he holds onto repentance from sins, and he improves his deeds in the future. He calls his brothers and the people of his land, guides them, and advises them regarding the mistakes they have.

Answer:
Yes, Hajj, as Allah the Exalted said,
That they may witness benefits for themselves
لِّيَشْهَدُوا مَنَافِعَ لَهُمْWhoever performs Hajj to this Ka`ba and does not approach his wife for sexual relations nor commit sins (while performing Hajj), he will come out as sinless as a newborn child, (just delivered by his mother).
