The ruling on the Hajj of one who commits some acts of shirk (associating partners with Allah)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man had some ignorance regarding creed, so he used to slaughter for other than Allah. Then he performed Hajj during this period. After a period of time following the Hajj, he stopped doing that and repented to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Does his Hajj count as the Hajj of Islam or not?
Answer : Is he ignorant, thinking that there is no harm in it? If he is ignorant and does not know, then his Hajj is valid.
And if he knows that slaughtering for other than Allah is shirk (associating partners with Allah), then his Hajj is not valid.
The questioner: He knows that it is forbidden, and he has heard some fatwas (scholarly legal rulings) on this matter; but perhaps he does not know that it takes one out of the religion, and he believes that if he does not slaughter, harm will come back to him?The Shaykh: It is obligatory for him to repeat his Hajj in this case; because he knows the prohibition, and when he knew the prohibition, he should have stopped. What made him violate the forbidden? So the precaution is that he repeats his Hajj.
