Hajj for the one who has a debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person intends to perform Hajj and has a debt, whether small or large, which he is able to repay after the Hajj, should he perform the Hajj, or is it necessary for him to settle it before that?
Answer:
If he is secure that the debt will be paid, there is no harm. Even if he does not pay it until after, because the objective is security, securing the amount. So if he secures it, there is no harm. Or he may go out even if he has not paid it with good. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
