Is it better to prioritize marriage over Hajj, or to prioritize Hajj?

Question : This questioner, Hasan Ibrahim, says in this question that he is Egyptian and resides in the Kingdom, and he is twenty-nine years old. He has not yet married, and he wishes to perform Hajj. However, some people say that he must marry first and then perform Hajj. He asks to know the correctness of this statement.

Answer : Hajj is obligatory; indeed, it is one of the pillars of Islam for whoever is able to undertake it. If a person has money that is not sufficient for both Hajj and marriage, and he has a strong desire and intense lust, and he fears hardship for himself, then he should prioritize marriage. But since you are a Muslim man and you reside in the Saudi lands, I see that you should perform Hajj. If you perform Hajj from here, it will be much easier than if you performed it from Egypt. Perform Hajj next year, and then marry afterward. We ask Allah to make things easy for you.
