Hajj for the one who has a debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: We have a call from Khalid from Riyadh. Yes. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Peace be upon you. Shaykh, I have a sum of money, and I have a debt. Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj?
Answer:
My brother, if you have money that is sufficient for Hajj and to pay off the debt, then perform Hajj. But if the money is not sufficient except to pay off the debt, then you start with the debt and pay it off, and you do not have to perform Hajj, because you are not able to do so in this case. Yes.
The presenter:
Is there another question, Khalid? Thank you, may Allah bless you. May Allah reward you.
