Hajj for one who does not have the means of travel and asks his father for it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man of legal age does not have the cost of Hajj, but if he asks his father, he may give it to him. Is it obligatory for him in that case?
Answer:
It is not obligatory for him, but it is recommended that he ask his father to enable him. It is recommended to do this. The obligation does not fall upon him until he is able to obtain, by his own means, money that belongs to him. Then Hajj becomes obligatory for him. As for if he does not obtain money that belongs to him, but rather takes from his father or asks for it, this is permissible and there is no harm in it, but it is not obligatory for him. Yes.
