Hajj and 'Umrah for One Who Neglects Prayer and Creed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother questioner says: There are people, O Shaykh, who care about Hajj and 'Umrah, but they may neglect the other pillars of Islam.
Answer:
Their Hajj and 'Umrah are not accepted from them if they neglect the prayer. The prayer is the second pillar. Likewise, if they neglect the creed and associate partners with Allah, call upon other than Allah, slaughter for other than Allah, or seek aid from other than Allah, their Hajj is not accepted from them, because they have no creed. Or if they neglect the prayer, they have no prayer, which is the pillars of Islam. Likewise, the one who does not fast Ramadan, denies its obligation, and does not fast it, has no Hajj if he denies the obligation of Ramadan, because Hajj is the last of the pillars, and before it are four pillars.
