Sexually Harassed While Performing Hajj

 


Sorry to learn of this terrible thing that a man did to you during Hajj. It is most despicable. However, this person will be dealt with by Allah (swt). A hadith by Bukhari states that

“Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “Whoever performs Hajj to this House (Ka`ba) and does not approach his wife for sexual relations nor commits sins (while performing Hajj), he will come out as sinless as a newlyborn child. (Just delivered by his mother).”

The person who did this to you, sister, obviously committed a grave sin and to Allah (swt) he is accountable.

I can understand your disgust and disdain for Muslim men, but you know just because someone is Muslim does not mean they will act accordingly.

Sadly, you had an encounter with one such person, but please, sister, don’t let it tarnish your feelings for all Muslim men.

More importantly, do not tarnish your feelings of joy and purity for your own experience of Hajj then or now.

You did nothing wrong. The other person did. I kindly suggest you make du’aa’ to Allah (swt), asking Him (swt) to help you erase this from your mind so you can enjoy the profound blessings and experiences from Hajj.

In sha’ Allah, do not let the other person’s sinful action become your burden, for it is not. - aboutislam.net
