The signs of an accepted Hajj or 'Umrah
Question: Are there any signs which appear upon those whose performance of the
Hajj or the 'Umrah is accepted?
Response: It is possible for there to be signs for the one whose Hajj,
fasting, charity or prayer has been accepted by Allaah and they are: the
opening of the heart (to good), happiness of the heart and a lighted face.
Certainly, for worshipping (Allaah) there are signs that appear on the body,
signs that are visible and signs that are hidden. Some of the Pious
Predecessors have mentioned that from the signs that a good (act) has been
accepted (by Allaah) is that he will be granted the towfeeq to do (yet) another
good (act). Certainly the towfeeq of Allaah for him to do more good (acts)
after it, is evidence that Allaah ('Azza wa Jall) has accepted his previous
good (acts). He has made it easy for him to do another good act and is happy
with him for it.

Advice to those having performed the Hajj
Question: What is your advice to the one who has performed the obligatory
(first) Hajj?
Response: My advice is that he should fear Allaah (and be aware of Him) in
performing all that which Allaah has obligated upon him in terms of other acts
of worship such as salaah, zakaah, fasting, honouring the parents, enjoining
family ties and being good to the creation (of Allaah) and to the animals under
ones ownership and other than this from that which Allaah has commanded with.
That which encompasses all of this is the statement of Allaah:
{Verily, Allaah enjoins al-'Adl (justice) and al-Ihsaan (being patient in
performing one's duties to Allaah), and giving (help) to kith and kin: and
forbids al-Fahshaa. (all evil deeds), and al-Munkar (all that is prohibited),
and al-Baghee (all kinds of oppression), He admonishes you, that you may take
heed. And fulfill the Covenant of Allaah (Bay'ah: pledge for Islaam) when you
have covenanted, and break not the oaths after you have confirmed them, and
indeed you have appointed Allaah your surety. Verily! Allaah knows what you
do}, [Soorah an-Nahl, Aayah's 90-91].
