The question

Does committing a sin in the months of Hajj (Shawwal and Dhul-Qa'dah) make the Hajj unaccepted, based on the noble verse: "Hajj is [during] well-known months. So whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of ihram], there is [to be for him] no sexual intercourse and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajj"?

The answer

The verse: "So whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of ], there shall be no sexual intercourse, nor disobedience, nor disputing during Hajj." (Quran 2:197) means whoever has actually entered into Hajj by performing the Ihram and , not merely by intention or by the advent of the Hajj months. Committing a sin before entering Hajj is not covered by the meaning of the verse, but it is considered a sin if committed during the sacred months. As for whoever performs Hajj and avoids sexual intercourse and disobedience, his sins will be forgiven, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever performs Hajj and does not have sexual intercourse and does not commit sins will return as he was on the day his mother gave birth to him."
