Leaving off prayer after performing Hajj: Is another Hajj obligatory?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question: A person performed the obligatory Hajj, and then he left off prayer, may Allah protect us from that. Then he repented and prayed. Is he required to perform Hajj again, considering that he left off prayer and one who leaves off prayer is a disbeliever? We ask for your guidance, may Allah reward you.

Answer: If the situation is as the questioner described, then his Hajj is not invalidated and he is not required to perform another Hajj; because good deeds are only invalidated if their owner dies upon disbelief.
As for if Allah guides him and he embraces Islam and dies upon Islam, then he will have the good he did previously; by the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in Surat al-Baqarah:

And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.

وَمَن يَرْتَدِدْ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِ فَيَمُتْ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ فَأُوْلَئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَأُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

[al-Baqarah:217], and by His saying (peace and blessings be upon him) to Hakim ibn Hizam when he asked him about good deeds he did in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, whether they would benefit him in the Hereafter? He said to him (peace and blessings be upon him):

You accepted Islam with all the previous virtues that you practised.

أسلمت على ما أسلفت من خير

And success is from Allah.
