The Ruling on One Who Embraces Islam After Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it obligatory for him to perform Hajj if he had performed Hajj before he embraced Islam?
Answer:
No, no. The Hajj he performed before embracing Islam is valid based on what he did. From the good he did, if he embraced Islam, all the good he did before benefits him. His other acts of worship, he does not repeat anything. Rather, his deeds are invalidated if he dies; his deeds are invalidated. We ask Allah for safety. Is the one who abandons prayer a disbeliever by practical disbelief or by doctrinal disbelief? It is major practical disbelief, like prostrating to an idol is practical disbelief, or calling upon other than Allah is practical disbelief. Why is it not from the category of doctrinal disbelief? Unless he believes it is permissible, then it becomes practical [disbelief] to avoid the sentence.
