Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I came to perform 'Umrah and I performed it, but I have debts that I have not paid. Is my 'Umrah valid?
Answer:
The 'Umrah is valid, but you have sinned if you took the amount you had and excused yourself with it. You have due debts and the amount is small, not enough for the 'Umrah and the debts. It is obligatory that you prioritize the debts; it is obligatory that you prioritize the debts over the 'Umrah. But since you have erred and performed the 'Umrah, your 'Umrah is valid, and you will pay the debts, if Allah wills, after that.
