If he apostatized after having performed Hajj before the apostasy, then repented?

The questioner : Shaykh, if he had, and he had performed Hajj before his apostasy.

The Shaykh : Yes, then he repented. The Hajj is not invalidated, nor the first fast, nor the first prayer.

The questioner : How was the act invalidated?

The Shaykh : Because it was in the middle of it. For example, if he apostatized during the adhan for Fajr, the adhan for Fajr is not invalidated; the adhan for Dhuhr in which the apostasy occurred is invalidated.

The questioner : Salih, what is it?

The Shaykh : And as for Hajj, if he apostatized during it, the Hajj is invalidated.

The questioner : It is not completed. It is not completed.

The Shaykh : And we continue.

The questioner : And the matters change.

The Shaykh : We say that this person is now an apostate. The apostate is not addressed with the commands of Islam unless he becomes a Muslim.

The questioner : Right now, the work has increased so that it does not separate.

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. You must have understood: apostasy in any act, if it occurs in the middle of it, invalidates it, whatever the act is: fasting, prayer, Hajj, anything.

The questioner : We said that the supporting evidence was separate, separate parts, like the environment.

The Shaykh : No, no, this, yes. If he gave charity of ten riyals and then apostatized, it was invalidated; the first ten were not invalidated. Hajj is a continuous act; Hajj is one act of worship, and its parts are built upon one another. Yes.
