Is the hajj of a woman who uncovers her head after returning from hajj not accepted?

- I do not cover my head but I perform my daily prayers and fulfill my responsibilities. Is hajj not like that? Does uncovering the head (for a woman) prevent fulfilling the pillars of Islam?
- Must a woman who returns from hajj wear hijab? We know that it is fard for a woman to cover her body but it is fard for all the time, not after returning hajj only.
- Is her hajj not accepted if she does not cover her body? Should a woman who thinks she is not ready to cover her body yet not go to hajj?

Dear Brother / Sister,

It is fard for a woman to cover her body and it is stated in the Quran and hadiths.

It is fard for a person who has the opportunity to go hajj; if he does not go, he abandons a fard.

Not covering her body does not prevent a woman from going to hajj; uncovering her head after returning from hajj does not invalidate her hajj. It is not appropriate for a woman not to go to hajj because her head is uncovered.

A woman who does not cover her head can go to hajj or umrah; she can perform prayers and fasting; she receives the thawabs of her worshipping. The sin of not covering her head is evaluated separately. From this point of view, the thawab of going to hajj is different and the sin of uncovering her head is different. She receives the thawab of going to hajj but she commits a sin when she leaves her head uncovered. 

The thawab of each worship and the sin of each haram should be evaluated separately. It is not appropriate to think that a person’s worshipping is invalid because he commits a sin.

It is hoped that the prayers that are performed will eliminate the other deficiencies of a person and will cause her to cover her head. 

It is a very wrong deed to alienate people from worshipping with such unfounded and useless words.

Committing a sin does not prevent a person from worshipping; similarly, it is not appropriate to abandon worshipping because of committing sins.
