The ruling on performing Hajj while owing bank installments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We fulfill the requests of the brothers and sisters. The sister says that her husband has installments for a Visa card, and he also has installments for the Development Bank and other installments for other companies. He intends to pay them off. She asks, “Shaykh, he intends to perform Hajj to fulfill the obligation with his wife this year. Is that permissible for him?” If this is at his own expense…
Answer:
Yes, it is his. He must provide what is needed to pay off the debt. The intention to pay off the debt is not sufficient. He must have the money available to pay it off and secure it for that purpose. If there is any money left over, he may perform Hajj with it. Otherwise, he must prioritize paying off the debt. May Allah reward you with good.
