Question:
We begin by standing with this verse, in which He, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196].
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2], and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. In this verse, which is His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah 2:196], this noble verse contains a command from Allah, Mighty and Majestic, regarding two things in Hajj. The first command is completion: completing the Hajj and 'Umrah by performing their rituals in accordance with the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . The second command is for Allah, meaning that this involves a command for sincerity.
Sincerity. This applies to every deed, which requires two conditions: sincerity to Allah in it, and following the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) by performing it in accordance with the Prophetic Sunnah. If these two conditions are met, they are the cause of acceptance by Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. If you do not complete the rituals of 'Umrah, it is not valid and will not be accepted. And if you complete it but do not have sincere intention for Allah in it—whether there is showing off or seeking reputation in it, or if there is deviation from the Sunnah and some element of religious innovation in it—then it is also not accepted by Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
