REWARD OF HAJJ MABRUR
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say:
“Whoever performs Hajj for the sake of Allah and does not utter any obscene speech or do any evil deed, will go back (free of sin) as his mother bore him.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhari, 1449; Muslim, 1350)
Here we should draw attention to two things:
1-That this is the reward for an accepted Hajj. Whoever does Hajj using haram money , or whose Hajj is not sincerely for the sake of Allah , may He be exalted, or who utters any obscene speech or does any evil deeds, his Hajj will not be accepted and he will not go back as on the day his mother bore him.
Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
With regard to the accepted Hajj , it was said that it is that in which there is no showing off or seeking reputation, and in which there is no obscene speech or evil deeds, and it is done with halal wealth.
Al-Tamhid lima fi’l-Muwatta min al-Ma‘ani wa’l-Asanid, 22/39
Some of the scholars said that the Hajj mabrur is that which is accepted, and the sign of its acceptance is that the person does not go back to disobeying his Lord, may He be exalted, and that he restores rights to those who are entitled to them.
2-Hajj does not mean that obligations such as expiation (kaffarah) and debts are waived .
