Question: Is it permissible to enjoy a meal at a restaurant with a Moulana and females whilst in Medina Munawwarah on the spiritual journey of Hajj? Qari Talhah Dendar proudly shared his organisations teamwork of intermingling. He works for Travel & Tour World, World of Travel, and Flywell Travel.
Answer:
Such people are cursed by Allah Ta’alaa, His Angels and the entire human race. It is important to stay aloof from such groups as it is all about show and tell. Your Hajj must be dripping with sincereness from the beginning right to the end. If you make effort in this manner then such a Hajj will enable you to become the friend of Allah Ta’alaa and you will leave the world in this manner in shaa Allah!.
Beware of such people as you will come back an actor that is accursed and not a Haaji Saheb whose Hajj was accepted. Important to make correct arrangements before time in order to do a Hajj with reliable truthful people, however, now do not destroy the rest of the journey.
Look at this narration and consult your heart in isolation: “Why did I come for Hajj? How much money is being spent?”
Habeebuna ﷺ said, “Medina is sanctuary, whoever innovates something new (in religion) or shelters an innovator in it will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and Allah will accept from him neither an obligatory nor a supererogatory prayer on the Day of Resurrection” (Muslim)
قال رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-: «المدينة حَرَمٌ فمن أحدث فيها حَدَثًا، أو آوى مُحْدِثًا؛ فعليه لعنة الله والملائكة والناس أجمعين، لا يقبل الله منه يوم القيامة صَرْفًا ولا عَدْلًا
