Presenting the religion of Allah or the religion of Adam, and paying the cost of Hajj from the estate

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Which takes precedence, the debt to Allah the Mighty and Majestic or the debt to a human being, when dividing the estate? And is it obligatory to pay the cost of Hajj or 'Umrah from the estate, or is it recommended?

Answer:
The debt to a human being takes precedence over the debt to Allah, because the debt to a human being is based on strictness, whereas the debt to Allah is based on leniency. The debt to a human being takes precedence because it is not waived except by his forgiveness. Except by his forgiveness and leniency. As for Hajj, if a person dies without having performed Hajj and he has money, the cost of Hajj is paid from his estate, because this is a debt to Allah upon him, so it takes precedence over the inheritance. It takes precedence over the inheritance, and the amount sufficient for him to perform the Hajj of Islam is paid on his behalf, because this is a debt to Allah the Mighty and Majestic in his liability. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
