The questioner : What is the meaning of: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 811Sahih (Darussalam)?
The Shaykh : It means that if a person performs Hajj and avoids what Allah has forbidden him, namely lewdness, which is approaching women in a forbidden manner, and sin, which is disobedience by leaving what Allah has made obligatory upon him or doing what Allah has forbidden him, that is sin. If a person performs Hajj without committing lewdness or sin, he emerges from it pure of sins, just as a person emerges from his mother’s womb with no sins upon him. So this man, if he performs Hajj under this condition, will be pure of his sins.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
Whoever performs Hajj for Allah, and he does not have sexual relations nor commit any sin, then his previous sins will be forgiven.
