Does the Hajj and supplication of a woman who performed the obligatory Hajj with money earned by her father through food adulteration, after being repeatedly advised against it, count as acceptable?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The majority of scholars have concurred on the validity of the pilgrimage (Hajj) performed with unlawfully acquired money, even though the pilgrim is sinful for earning prohibited wealth. This is in contrast to the Hanbalis, who consider such a Hajj invalid. The first opinion is the most preponderant. As for its acceptance, it is incorrect, for the texts have indicated that Allah accepts only what is good. The obligation of Hajj has been fulfilled by the questioner through her pilgrimage with her father. If she is able to perform Hajj voluntarily to compensate for any deficiency in the obligatory pilgrimage, that would be better.
