Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and the Imam of the Pious, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
As for what follows:
This is the twenty-second meeting after the hundredth of the meetings known as "The Open Door," which takes place every Thursday of every week. This is the twenty-first Thursday of the month of Dhul-Hijjah, 1416. We speak of what Allah has granted the pilgrims this year in terms of health, security, stability, and cleanliness in all the sacred sites, until the Muslims performed their rites, and praise be to Allah, in the most complete manner. However, such large gatherings are not free from some deficiencies, especially among those who do not have knowledge of the Shari'ah, its objectives, and its sources. Generally, pilgrims are ignorant common people who do not know anything except that they performed the rites, that they performed Hajj, and that they performed 'Umrah. They are not aware that this is a great act of worship that envelops a person from the time of entering ihram until he exits it. Therefore, you find them violent when meeting their brothers in the sacred sites, in tawaf, in sa'y, and in stoning the pillars. You find many of them who do not accept advice because they came only to perform actions without their hearts feeling that they are in worship. This is a matter that it is obligatory for all our Muslim brothers to feel that they are in worship from the time of entering ihram until they exit it and their rites are completed. Then, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that the accepted Hajj has no reward except Paradise, and he informed that meaning from his sins . This leads to the Muslim being better after completing Hajj than he was before performing Hajj, because he returned pure from sins. Therefore, he should not stain the pages of his deeds with sins after Allah the Exalted has purified him from them. This is by maintaining obedience to Allah Mighty and Majestic, the greatest and most severe of which is the ritual prayer, for it is the greatest pillar of Islam after the two testimonies, and it is the pillar of the religion. It is not possible to have a religion without it. For this reason, the most correct of the opinions of the scholars is that the one who leaves it out of laziness or negligence is a disbeliever with disbelief that takes him out of the religion, and I seek refuge in Allah.
Also maintaining the payment of zakah to its rightful recipients, whom Allah the Exalted specified in His saying:[At-Tawbah 9:60]. And likewise fasting and Hajj, dutifulness to parents, maintaining family ties, good neighborliness, hospitality, and other laws and rituals of the religion. We ask Allah for us and for you steadfastness and firmness. Our brother Musa mentioned to us that he missed recording [Al-Inshiqaq 84:1] .

Whoever performs Hajj and does not commit lewdness or sin returns
من حج ولم يرفث ولم يفسق رجعas on the day his mother bore him
كيوم ولدته أمهAlso maintaining the payment of zakah to its rightful recipients, whom Allah the Exalted specified in His saying:
Zakah expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect [zakah] and for bringing hearts together [for Islam] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the [stranded] traveler
إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَاتُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْعَامِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِي الرِّقَابِ وَالْغَارِمِينَ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِWhen the sky has split [open]
