Hajj for the One Who Has Debts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Suhayl from Yemen. He says: I have debts, and I intend to perform Hajj next year, if Allah wills. Is the Hajj valid, or am I required to settle all my debts first and then perform Hajj?
Answer:
If you have money that can settle the debts and is sufficient for Hajj, then you should perform Hajj, because you have preserved the rights of the right-holders, and this does not affect the repayment of the debt. However, if the money is tight and does not cover both Hajj and paying off the debts, then you should prioritize paying off the debts. Yes.
The presenter:
