Question:
I wish to perform Hajj, but I have a debt. Is it permissible for me to accept a person to perform Hajj on my behalf so that I can participate with the pilgrims in witnessing the rituals, and use the amount to help pay off the debt? If I take the amount for the sake of Hajj and the desire to perform Hajj
Answer:
There is no harm in that. However, if it is solely for the sake of the debt, then no. If you take the amount, engage in Hajj, desire to perform Hajj, and use the money to help with your Hajj and your debt, there is no harm. But if it is solely for the sake of the money, then no.
