If a man stole and then performed Hajj, is the pillar of Hajj no longer obligatory for him?
Scholars have differed regarding the validity and sufficiency of performing Hajj with unlawfully acquired money, while being aware of its unlawful nature. The majority of scholars hold that it is sufficient and fulfills the obligation, but its perpetrator is committing a sin. This is the view of Ash-Shafi‘i, Abu Hanifa, and Malik, and one narration from Imam Ahmad. Whereas the Hanbalis, in the correct view of their , and a view among the Malikis, hold that it is not sufficient. The correct view is that of the former scholars. The Hajj of one who does this is not accepted, and he must repent and return the right to its rightful owners.
