Ruling on the Hajj of one who intentionally breaks his fast in Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A message sent by one of the brothers, who appears to be Sudanese based on the dialect of the message, written in his colloquial dialect, but its meaning is: O Shaykh, he says: He was informed by one of the brothers that one who intentionally breaks his fast, his Hajj is not valid. What does the Shaykh say to someone like this?
Answer: This fatwa is incorrect. If one breaks his fast in Ramadan intentionally, he has disobeyed his Lord, but this disobedience does not prevent the Hajj, nor does it invalidate the Hajj. Rather, he must repent to Allah for that and make up the day he broke his fast. If he breaks a day of Ramadan without a valid legal excuse, he has committed a great evil. And whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance. So he must repent to Allah sincerely by feeling regret for what has passed, resolving not to return to it, seeking forgiveness from his Lord frequently, and hastening to make up the day he broke his fast. His Hajj is valid if he performs it. And if he had performed Hajj previously, his Hajj is also valid, and his breaking the fast for a day of Ramadan does not invalidate it. It is merely a sin and a major one among the major sins, so he must repent to Allah for that. Just as other sins do not invalidate the Hajj, such as if he commits unlawful sexual intercourse, or drinks intoxicants, or is undutiful to his parents or one of them, or consumes usury or interest, or similar sins, none of these invalidate his Hajj. Rather, the Hajj is invalidated by sexual intercourse if he has intercourse before the first exit from the state of consecration, if he has intercourse before stoning the pillars, before circumambulation, and before shaving or shortening the hair, meaning if he has intercourse after entering the state of consecration, or at 'Arafah, or after 'Arafah before exiting the state of consecration. This is what invalidates the Hajj. As for the general category of sins, they do not invalidate the Hajj. Likewise, if he commits disbelief, may Allah protect us from that, or apostatizes from his religion. If he apostatizes from his religion and dies in that state, his deeds are invalidated. But if he apostatizes from his religion and then embraces Islam and Allah guides him, his deeds remain for him if he dies upon Islam. Yes.
