The ruling on performing Hajj with forbidden wealth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Our brother says: I performed Hajj while I was a university student, and I took money from my father for the expenses of Hajj because I was unable to provide the money myself. However, my father was working in forbidden jobs at that time, and his profits came from those forbidden jobs. Is my Hajj valid, or do you see that I should perform the obligatory act again?
Answer: The Hajj is valid, and it is not harmed by the fact that the money contains a doubt or is not lawful; because all the acts of Hajj are physical acts. All the acts of Hajj are physical acts. And although impure expenses cause much evil, and may be a cause for the Hajj not being accepted, and may also be a cause for fewer good deeds and more bad deeds, but in any case, the Hajj is valid. Even if its reward is not like the reward of one who performed Hajj with lawful money, the Hajj is valid and sufficient, and you do not have to perform Hajj after that; because the acts are physical: tawaf, sa'y, standing at 'Arafah, and stoning the pillars are all physical. There is nothing in them except the mere hady, the hady of tamattu'. And this hady, if you spent on it money you took from your father and you know your father's situation, the original ruling is that it is lawful, and you do not know that this specific money is forbidden, so that you would say: "I bought it with forbidden money." The original ruling is that the slaughtered animal is sufficient, and the original ruling is that the money is safe until you know the specific money that was usurped from so-and-so, or that it was obtained through specific riba, meaning: until you are certain that it is forbidden. So as long as you are not certain that this specific money is forbidden, the original ruling is that the slaughtered animal is lawful and that it fulfilled the obligation, and praise be to Allah. But if you are certain that you bought the slaughtered animal with forbidden money, you should buy a replacement for it now and slaughter it for your previous Hajj, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you. So, there is no need to repeat any part of the Hajj?
The Shaykh: Yes.. Yes, absolutely not.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
