Fatwa No. ( 18994 )
Q: I made a vow upon myself a year ago. My vow was: if the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques is healed from the illness that struck him a year ago, I will perform the obligatory Hajj and fast for two months ; as thanks to Allah for the healing of the dear father. The question is: Do I perform the obligatory Hajj and fast, or is there an expiation for that, knowing that I am in debt for large amounts?
A: If the situation is as described, it is obligatory for this person to fulfill his vow, so he must perform Hajj and fast for two months; because this is a vow of obedience conditioned on a condition, and that condition has occurred. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 6696 . And if he is unable to perform Hajj because of the debt, he must hasten to perform Hajj when he is able to do so; due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: [At-Taghabun 64:16] , and due to the saying of Allah the Exalted regarding the obligatory Hajj: [Ali 'Imran 3:97]
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

من نذر أن يطيع الله فليطعهSo fear Allah as much as you are able
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْAnd [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way
وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاAnd success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
