The questioner : He says: If a person has major sins upon him.
The Shaykh : If?
The questioner : If a person has major sins upon him and he performs Hajj, does Allah erase these sins from him after repentance? Please guide me. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes. If a person repents from his sins, even if he does not perform Hajj, and his repentance is sincere, then Allah will erase them completely. Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Furqan 25:68] meaning: he who kills a soul, meaning he who associates partners with Allah, or kills a soul, or commits unlawful sexual intercourse [Al-Furqan 25:68-70]. So if you repent to Allah with sincere repentance, even if you do not perform Hajj, then Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, will erase your evil deeds.
Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes. If a person repents from his sins, even if he does not perform Hajj, and his repentance is sincere, then Allah will erase them completely. Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:
And those who do not invoke with Allah another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed], except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. And whoever should do that
وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَwill meet a penalty. (69) Multiplied for him is the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein humiliated - (70) Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good.
يَلْقَ أَثَامًا يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍYes.
