The Ruling on Hajj in the Presence of Debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to go for Hajj while I have a debt, considering that the money for Hajj is also part of the debt?
Answer:
No, if you do not have anything to pay off the debt, do not perform Hajj, and Hajj is not obligatory on you because you are not able to afford it. However, if you have a lot of money such that you can perform Hajj from it and pay off the debt, there is no harm in that because you are wealthy. The important thing is to secure what is needed to pay off the debt. If there is something left over, perform Hajj; otherwise, the debt is more binding, and Hajj is not obligatory on you while you are in debt. Yes.
