Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I borrowed money for the purpose of Hajj, and I am able to repay it, but the owner of the money is giving me time and has not demanded it from me. The question is: Am I allowed to delay the repayment, or is it obligatory for me to hasten?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to hasten as long as you are able to repay. Perhaps a time will come when you are no longer able to do so, so hasten before the time passes.
