Question:

What are the signs of an accepted Hajj?

Answer:

The Fuqaha have written that its sign is that the (religious) condition after Hajj should be better than the one before Hajj; the following of the Sunnah should increase; the zeal for good deeds should rise; and the hate for sins should have developed. If all of these are not present, then it is a sign that it has not been accepted.

However, we should not pursue the task that is not part of our duty. Our duty is to perform (religious) actions with their conditions and to make dua. Leave the acceptance to Allah.
