The obligation of Hajj on one who does not possess the cost of it, but whose father may give it to him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man of legal age does not possess the costs of Hajj, but if he asks his father, he may give it to him. Is it obligatory for him in that case?

Answer:
It is not obligatory for him, but it is recommended that he ask his father to enable him to perform Hajj. This is recommended. The obligation does not fall upon him until he is able to do so himself, obtaining money that belongs to him. Then Hajj becomes obligatory for him. As for if he does not obtain money that belongs to him, but rather takes from his father or asks, this is permissible and there is no harm in it, but it is not obligatory for him. Yes.
