The Ruling on One Who Performs Hajj with Forbidden Wealth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A female listener (N. S. K.), a Sudanese resident in the Kingdom, says: My father performed Hajj with money, but this money is shared with his brothers in inheritance, and they have not forgiven him for it. Is his Hajj valid? Or what is obligatory upon him?
Answer: His Hajj is valid, and he must repent for what he did, seek the forgiveness of his brothers, and give them their rights. His Hajj is valid, and he must repent to Allah; because the lawfulness of the expenses is not a condition for the validity of Hajj. Hajj consists of physical acts, so if he performed the acts of Hajj in the manner prescribed by Allah, his Hajj is valid. However, he commits a sin if the expenses are forbidden or contain something forbidden; he sins and the reward of the Hajj is diminished, but the Hajj is not invalidated. Rather, his Hajj is sufficient and valid, but he bears the sin of dealing in what Allah has forbidden from his brothers' wealth. So he must seek their forgiveness and repent to Allah for that; so that his Hajj is rectified by the repentance.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
