Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I borrowed a sum of money and performed Hajj. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it; it is not obligatory for you, but there is no harm in it. Hajj is obligatory upon the one who is able to afford it. If he is not able except by borrowing, Hajj is not obligatory. However, if he borrows and performs Hajj, may Allah reward him, provided he has the means to repay. If he has the means to repay from sources such as land or a house, and he borrows, there is no harm. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
