Remember, there is an accepted Hajj and another unaccepted Hajj. That is, Hajj Mabroor and Hajj non-Mabroor. The difference between accepted Hajj and unaccepted Hajj is that unaccepted Hajj is one where a person performs the symbolic rituals but does not incorporate them into their real life. Performing the symbolic rituals of Hajj over a few days without integrating them into your life afterward means that your Hajj is an unaccepted Hajj. An accepted Hajj is when the symbolic actions you performed in the form of Hajj rituals are carried forward into your real life upon your return.

For example, in the Quran it is mentioned that when you go for Hajj, you must abstain from indecent speech, from all wicked conduct, and from quarrelling while on the pilgrimage.(2:197). So, you should not engage in fighting and arguing. This is said because many people go for Hajj. Previously, the number of people wasn't that high, but now there are millions of pilgrims there. When so many people gather, disagreements and complaints are inevitable. Someone might harm someone else. In such situations, people will argue, fight, and speak ill of each other. According to the Quran if you engage in such behavior, your Hajj will be invalid.

What does this mean? It means that despite complaints, you must remain silent; even if you are harmed, you must bear with it; if someone provokes you, you must not get provoked; even if you have a negative experience, you must remain positive. That is, to abstain from indecent speech, from wicked conduct, from quarrelling. (2:197) Because when there are so many people, issues are bound to arise. It is impossible for so many people to gather without any such problem.

So, it means that even if there are reasons that cause people to fight, to get angry, to become furious, you must still protect yourself from these things. Otherwise, your Hajj will become invalid. If you manage to do this during the few days of Hajj but abandon it upon returning, and start fighting, getting angry, and seeking revenge, what does this mean? "It means that symbolically, you performed Hajj, but when it came to practicing its true spirit in real-life situations, you failed." This is the difference between Hajj Mabroor (accepted Hajj) and Hajj non-Mabroor (unaccepted Hajj). Understanding this difference is essential.
