One who performed Hajj while not praying, then repented: must he repeat the Hajj?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the second paragraph of the questions from the questioner, Umm Abdullah, she says: Your Eminence! What do you say about one who performed Hajj while not praying, then repented afterwards and started praying? Is he required to repeat the Hajj?

Answer:
Yes, he is required to, if he was not praying, then Allah accepted his repentance; he must repeat the Hajj; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Between a man and disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah) is the abandonment of prayerبين الرجل، وبين الكفر، والشرك ترك الصلاة
And he said (peace and blessings be upon him):
The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is prayer; so whoever leaves it, he has committed Kufr.العهد الذي بيننا وبينهم الصلاة، فمن تركها؛ فقد كفر
Sunan Ibn Majah 1079Sahih (Darussalam)
So the Hajj performed before that is not sufficient, and he must repeat the Hajj after his repentance, yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you, Your Eminence.
