Question:
I am a young man who wants to perform Hajj and wants to get married, but I cannot do both at the same time. Which one should I start with? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You are required to start with Hajj because it is one of the pillars of Islam, unless you fear fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for yourself due to not getting married. In that case, you should prioritize marriage and put it before Hajj. If you fear fitnah for yourself and falling into what is not permissible, you should prioritize marriage because it protects your chastity from fitnah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
