Hajj for one who has a riba (usury or interest) loan from the bank
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Allah has afflicted me with a riba loan from the bank, and I want to perform Hajj this year. Is it permissible for me to go to Hajj, given that the period for repaying the debt is long?
Answer:
Does one perform Hajj with riba money? What is permissible? One performs Hajj with lawful money; one does not perform Hajj with riba money. As for the riba that has come to you, get rid of it by giving it to the needy to get rid of it. It is not charity, but rather getting rid of it, like lost money whose owner is unknown; it is given to the needy. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
