Does Hajj expiate major sins?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Does Hajj expiate major sins?

Answer:
The strong evidence indicates that the expiation is specific to minor sins. Specific to minor sins. Some scholars say it expiates even major sins, based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever 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).من حج هذا البيت فلم يرفث ولم يفسق رجع كيوم ولدته أمه.
Sahih al-Bukhari 1820
This is general for major and minor sins. Allah knows best.
