The Time for Repaying a Loan Taken for Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! I had intended to perform Hajj this year, and praise be to Allah, He granted me the means to perform it. I paid the required amount, and I had enough with me for expenses, but I needed a sum of money to take care of a matter that came up afterward. So I borrowed from a colleague of mine, agreeing to return it to him with my salary for that same month, and I asked his permission regarding the Hajj, so he gave me permission. What is the ruling? The money has become available to me because the salaries have been paid. Do I return it to him now, or when I return?
Answer:
If you return it to him, if the person is present here and you pay him his share, there is no harm. If the person is absent from the country, when you return, if Allah wills, you pay him the debt that is on you. The matter is broad. Yes.
