IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI KE 71: ADAKAH HAJI MABRUR MENGGUGURKAN DOSA-DOSA BERKAITAN KEWAJIPAN DAN HAK KE ATAS SESEORANG?
Does an accepted pilgrimage (hajj mabrur) erase sins related to obligations and the rights of others, such as deliberately delaying debt payment?
Short answer
This matter is disputed among scholars. According to the view transmitted from al-Zayyadi, hajj mabrur forgives major sins, minor sins and sins involving the rights of others if a person dies during the pilgrimage or afterwards before being able to fulfil those rights.

Summary
This matter is disputed among scholars. According to the view transmitted from al-Zayyadi, hajj mabrur forgives major sins, minor sins and sins involving the rights of others if a person dies during the pilgrimage or afterwards before being able to fulfil those rights. Some scholars, such as al-Syabramallisi, hold that people's rights are not waived by hajj mabrur. A person who remains alive must still fulfil obligations such as making up missed prayers and repaying debts, and should not rely on hajj mabrur since only Allah knows its acceptance.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika seseorang mendapat haji mabrur dan meninggal dunia ketika melaksanakan haji atau selepas menunaikan namun tidak berkesempatan untuk menunaikan kewajipan dan hak-hak orang lain ke atasnya, maka akan diampunkan dosanya sama ada dosa besar, dosa kecil dan dosa berkaitan hak-hak orang lain ke atasnya
