Question:
This is a woman asking. She says: I have a son who is twenty-seven years old, and he wants to get married. Should I marry him off, or should I perform the obligatory Hajj? May Allah bless you?
Answer:
If you are afraid for him of harsh treatment, or afraid that he will fall into what is forbidden, then marry him off before the Hajj. But if you are not afraid for him, and he is a righteous and upright servant, and you are not afraid for him, then prioritize the Hajj, because the Hajj is a pillar of Islam, so prioritize it. Yes.
