Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person wants to perform Hajj and has a debt, does he perform Hajj or is it necessary for him to seek permission from the creditor?
Answer:
If he has ample wealth to perform Hajj and pay off the debt, there is no need [to seek permission]. However, if the wealth is only sufficient to pay off the debt, and the creditor gives you permission, there is no harm. But if he does not give permission, no, do not perform Hajj.
