The Intended Meaning of His Saying: “And whoever intends therein [the Sacred Precinct] to commit sacrilege through injustice, We will let him taste a painful punishment”

Question:
May Allah reward you. His other question is: What is meant by the saying of Allah the Exalted:

Answer:
“Whoever intends therein” means in the Haram (sacred precinct) and the Mash'ar (sacred sites). Whoever intends therein to commit sacrilege in its days or in its place, committing sacrilege through injustice. Sacrilege is departing from the obedience of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, through injustice; it means he wants to transgress, to wrong people, and to make Hajj a symbol of pre-Islamic ignorance and its slogans, as it was in the time of the first age of ignorance. So Hajj is worship of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, for forming bonds, getting to know one another, agreeing, and cooperating in righteousness and piety. This is what is intended by Hajj. Yes.
