Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the interpretation of the noble verse[Al-Hajj 22:25]?
Answer:
If a person intends in the Makkah Haram, intending in his heart that he will commit a sin therein, then he commits a sin and there is a severe warning for him. This is merely the intention; “whoever intends” means whoever intends. So what about if he carries it out and commits the sin? Al-ilhad means sin and deviating from the obedience of Allah; this is what al-ilhad means.
