The Ruling on Performing 'Umrah While in Debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener, Mahrous from Egypt, who works in Riyadh, says: I have a large debt in Egypt, and I wish to perform 'Umrah. Is it obligatory for me to pay off the debt first? And is my 'Umrah valid before paying off the debt?
Answer:
If you have the ability to pay off the debt, start with the debt. As for if you do not have the ability to pay off the debt, do not perform 'Umrah. Save the money to pay off the debt, unless the creditor permits it.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
