Prioritizing Hajj over Marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says, may Allah preserve you: Regarding Hajj, which is better for me? Should I go perform Hajj, or should I be content and save this money for marriage, given that I am a young man who cannot afford it?
Answer:
If you fear for yourself regarding not getting married, if you fear for yourself falling into what is forbidden, then prioritize marriage. And if you do not fear for yourself, and you have not yet performed the obligatory Hajj, and you do not fear for yourself falling into error regarding your honor, then prioritize Hajj. If you do not fear for yourself, prioritize Hajj, the obligatory Hajj. Yes.
