The ruling on borrowing for the purpose of Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Is it permissible for a person to perform Hajj with the money of another, as a debt, or with his father's money, meaning he takes money from his father to perform Hajj with? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good. And what is the ruling if he takes money from someone other than his father?

Answer:
As for asking another person to give him money to perform Hajj with, this is not prescribed. It is not prescribed for a person to borrow in order to perform Hajj; rather, this is disliked. This is because it involves taking on a debt, and one who does not have money to perform Hajj with is not obligated to perform Hajj. However, if this is offered to him without his asking, such as if someone gives him money to perform Hajj with, or lends him money to perform Hajj with without his asking, and he does so, then there is no blame on him, and his Hajj is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
