Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith, O Shaykh,
Whoever performs Hajj (pilgrimage) and does not have sexual relations (with his wife), nor commits sin, nor disputes unjustly (during Hajj), then he returns from Hajj as pure and free from sins as on the day on which his mother gave birth to him.من حج فلم يرفث ولم يفسق رجع كيوم ولدته أمه
Riyad as-Salihin 1274
,

Answer:
Yes, it is a valid hadith,
He who came to this House (Ka'ba) (with the intention of performing Pilgrimage), and neither spoke indecently nor did he act wickedlyمن أتى هذا البيت فلم يرفث ولم يفسق
Sahih Muslim 1350a
. Rafth is intercourse and its incitements, because when one enters the state of ihram, rafth is forbidden to him, namely intercourse and its incitements. Fusuq is sins; it is called fusuq because it is a departure from the obedience of Allah, and the meaning of fusuq is departure. So if the pilgrim is safe from these two afflictions, rafth and fusuq, he returns to his homeland forgiven, returning to his homeland as the day his mother gave birth to him, free from sins. For the newborn, when he is born, has no sins upon him until he reaches puberty. Likewise, if he performs Hajj in the manner mentioned by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), not committing rafth and not committing fusuq, it expiates his sins and his transgressions, and he returns as the day his mother gave birth to him, with no sins upon him. And in this is the virtue of Hajj. Yes.
