What du’a can we recite when we welcome a returning Haji?
Answer
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu’anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said the following to a returning Haji:
قَبِلَ اللهُ حَجَّك ، وَغَفَرَ ذَنْبَكَ، وَاَخْلَفَ نَفَقَتَكَ
‘Qabilallahu hajjaka, wa ghafara dhambaka, wa akhlafa nafaqatak.’
Translation: May Allah accept your Haj, may He forgive your sins and may He replace your expenditure.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
