What is the ruling on one who apostatized from Islam and then repented again? Does he have to repeat Hajj and 'Umrah after repentance?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A person apostatized from Islam, may Allah protect us from that, and then returned to Islam, repenting and turning back. He had performed Hajj and 'Umrah before his apostasy. Does he have to repeat them?
The Shaykh : No. All righteous deeds, my brothers, that preceded the apostasy, if the person repents, their reward remains and they suffice him. He does not repeat Hajj. The evidence for this is the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, in His noble Book regarding the apostates:[Al-Baqarah 2:217] . It is known from this noble verse that if one apostatizes from his religion and then returns to Islam, his deeds are not nullified; his deeds remain. And praise be to Allah. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : No. All righteous deeds, my brothers, that preceded the apostasy, if the person repents, their reward remains and they suffice him. He does not repeat Hajj. The evidence for this is the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, in His noble Book regarding the apostates:
And whoever of you reverts from his religion
ومن يرتدد منكم عن دينهand dies while he is a disbeliever, then their deeds are nullified
فيمت وهو كافر فأولئك حبطت أعمالهمThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
