The ruling on Hajj for one who has a debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says in his question: I am a man with a large debt, approximately seventy thousand riyals, spread out, and I have not performed the obligatory Hajj. If the conditions for Hajj are met after obtaining permission from the creditors, should I perform Hajj, or should I wait until I pay off my debt?
Answer:
There is no harm in performing Hajj if the creditors permit it. Otherwise, paying the debt takes precedence; you should start with the debt. But if they give you permission, there is nothing wrong with it. Otherwise, start with them. You are not obligated to perform Hajj, and praise be to Allah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
