Does Hajj expiate the sin of a wife's deliberate abortion in the second month?
The accepted Hajj atones for all sins, minor and major, including injustices against others if they are rectified or forgiveness is sought from those wronged. This is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) sayings: " to Umrah is an expiation for what is between them, and an accepted Hajj has no reward but Paradise," and "Whoever performs Hajj and does not engage in sexual intimacy or commit sins will return [free] from his sins as the day his mother bore him." As for abortion, it is forbidden by Islamic law, and whoever commits it must offer sincere repentance, increase good deeds, and its expiation is like the expiation for taking a life.
