Comparing Marriage and Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person wants to get married and wants to perform Hajj, which one should he start with?
Answer:
If he has money that covers the marriage and covers the cost of Hajj, he starts with Hajj, because it is one of the pillars of Islam, and he has money for the marriage. But if his money is little and is not enough for both, we look at the situation. If he is afraid of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), he starts with marriage to protect himself from fitnah. But if he is not afraid for himself regarding fitnah, he starts with Hajj, because it is one of the pillars of Islam. Yes.
