- Fatwa Date:16-3-2005
I would like to know is it gone effect your Hajj if you get angry while you are at Mina. Like angry if you are talking to a person and you get angry at him and speak angry but no cursing no bad name, no bad things, only you get angry form inside without action. Please answer this question because I think there is something wit my Hajj because of this.
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
Your Hajj is correct, Inshaa' Allaah, as getting angry does not nullify it. If you had performed your Hajj with all its pillars and obligations, then it is correct and acceptable, and we ask Allaah to accept it from you. If a pilgrim becomes angry but does not backbite, insult or slander another person, the reward of his Hajj, Inshaa' Allaah, is not reduced. On the contrary, he will be rewarded for controlling his anger as Allaah praised those who restrain their anger; He says (which means): {…who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men; for Allaah loves those who do good.}[3:134]. Moreover, the Prophet said: "The one who suppresses his anger while possessing the power to carry it out, will be called out by Allaah, the Exalted, on the Day of Resurrection and will be asked to choose any of the women of Paradise [Hoor] to his liking." [Abu-Daawood]
Allaah knows best.
