Is the Hajj of a person who commits major shirk unknowingly valid?
Question:
"He says: Is the Hajj of a person who commits acts of shirk and he doesn't know and the proof has not yet been established upon him valid?"
Answer:
"We can't say that his Hajj is valid because whosoever associates someone else with Allah in worship is a mushrik; his action is an act of shirk and his ruling is that he is a mushrik. Thus he who offers sacrifices for other than Allah, makes vows for other than Allah or calls upon and seeks deliverance from other than Allah is a mushrik, and his worship is not valid. What is left is: is he excused or not (for his ignorance)? We don't speak about this. We say that his affair lies with Allah. Yes."
Shaykh Saalih bin Sa'd as-Suhaymee, may Allah preserve him

السائل: يقول: من يقوم بأفعال شركية وهو لا يدري ولم تقم عليه الحجة فهل يصح حجه؟
الشيخ صالح السحيمي: لا نستطيع أن نقول إنه يصح حجه لأن من أشرك مع الله غيره فهو مشرك وعمله شرك ويحكم عليه بأنه مشرك، فمن يذبح لغير الله أو ينذر لغير الله أو يدعو غير الله ويستغيث بغير الله فهو مشرك ولا تصح منه العبادة، بقي هل يعذر أو لا يعذر، لا نتكلم في هذا، نقول أمره إلى الله. نعم
