He performed Hajj while he had stolen Money in his possession
Question:
I took some money from my father’s aunt without her knowledge and she died before I returned the money. I performed Hajj last year whilst this money was still in my possession. The question is, is my Hajj correct? What should I do with this money to free myself of its responsibility, knowing that there is no one that inherited from her other than my farther and his brothers? I hope for a beneficial answer. May Allaah reward you with good.
Answer:
The Hajj is correct, if Allaah wills, if you performed what Allaah made obligatory concerning it and you avoided that which would corrupt it. You must repent to Allaah from taking your aunt’s wealth without a right to do so. You must also give it to your farther if he is the one who inherited from her.
We ask Allaah to pardon you and us and every Muslim.
