Hajj for the one who has a bank loan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My brother 'Abdullah from Jeddah, may Allah greet you. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings. I am telling you that I want to perform Hajj, and I have a loan from the bank. Is it permissible, or how is it? Do I have to pay it off?
Answer:
If the loan is due and the money you have is not sufficient except to pay off the loan, and it is demanded of you and is due, then you begin by paying off the debt, prioritizing it over Hajj. Yes.
The presenter:
Thank you, my noble brother.
