Hajj for the one who has a debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person intends to perform Hajj and has a debt, whether small or large, which he is able to repay after the Hajj, should he perform the Hajj, or is it necessary for him to settle it before that?
Answer:
If he has secured the funds to pay off the debt, there is no harm in his performing Hajj, even if he does not actually pay it off until later, because the objective is to secure the amount. So if he has secured it, there is no harm in his performing Hajj, even if he has not actually paid it off. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
