Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A woman performed the Hajj of Islam, then she abandoned prayer after the Hajj for a period. A woman performed the Hajj of Islam, then she abandoned prayer after the Hajj for a period of two years, then she returned to prayer again. Is it obligatory for her to perform Hajj again?
Answer:
Yes, she must repeat the prayer because when she abandoned prayer intentionally, she exited Islam. This is apostasy, may Allah protect us from it. So if she repents and Allah prevents her from [sin] through repentance, she repeats the Hajj, because her first Hajj was invalidated by the apostasy. Yes.
