Q: If I commit a major sin again, after repenting and making Hajj,
does that mean my Hajj wasn’t accepted?
Allah has blessed me with making Hajj this year after a long string of sins, and I resolved to make a real new start. But, unfortunately, I committed a major sin and I have been practically choking to death (with regret) since I committed this sin. Does that mean that my Hajj was not accepted and is there any relation between committing this sin after the Hajj and the validity
of my Hajj?
A: We advise you to renew your repentance and to think the best of your Lord. Do not lose hope Of His Mercy. "And those who, when they have committed extra-marital intercourse or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allah and ask for forgiveness for their sins – and none can forgive sins but Allah – and do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know" [3:135]. Renew your resolve to rise again after this stumble and to repent after your error. The doors to your Lord are still
open – before the Hajj and afterward. People continue to err, day and night, but then they flee back to their Lord, and they find Him Sympathetic and Bounteous, Oft-Forgiving and Ever-
Merciful! The Most High has said: “Oh my slaves who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins), despair not of the Mercy of Allah; verily, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" [39:53]. It has also come in a Qudsi Hadeeth, “Oh my
slaves, verily, you make mistakes by night and day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness with Me and I will forgive you.” I ask Allah to remit your sin and to bring you back to Him in a
beautiful way. Ameen.
And Allah, the Most High, knows best.
