Does one who apostatized from Islam and then returned to Islam have to perform Hajj again?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: If a person apostatized from Islam, may Allah protect us from that, and he had already performed Hajj, then returned to Islam, is it obligatory for him to perform Hajj again, and is the first Hajj considered invalid?

Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement on this, and performing Hajj again is the safer course for him and more righteous for his conscience. Yes.
