Umra Acceptance and Husband's Dua Against It

Answered by Ustadha Zaynab Ansari, SunniPath Academy Teacher

Question:

I went to umrah with my husband a few weeks ago, and subhanallah it was such an amazing experience. A few days before we arrived home me and my husband had an argument, in the heat of the moment he said i hope your umrah does not get accepted. i could not believe what he said, he apologised straight away, and said he did not mean it, but my fear is what if what he said gets accepted by Allah, what do i do. i still haven't forgiven my husband as i am so hurt, it really felt as if he divorced me. please help me by answering my question. salam

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Dear Sister,

Assalamu alaikum,

I pray this finds you well.

Your husband's words have no effect. What matters is that you performed your Umrah in accordance with the Sunna, following all the proper manners entailed therein. If your intention was for Allah Ta'ala, then you should think well of Allah Most High and trust Him to reward you for this act of devotion.
What your husband said was hurtful and it's good that he apologized. You should move on, but perhaps consider why you had an argument at such a time and what you can do in the future to prevent it from reoccurring.

Wasalaam,

Zaynab
