The Relationship Between Religion and Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the relationship between Hajj and religion, may Allah preserve you? And does it prevent [one from performing it]?
Answer:
Yes. As we mentioned, Hajj requires provisions, and the provision is money. If a person has a debt that is due and he is being demanded to pay it, and he does not have the financial capacity to perform Hajj and pay off the debt, then he must prioritize paying off the debt. However, if he has enough to cover both his Hajj and the repayment of his debt, then he performs Hajj, and there is no obstacle, even if he has a debt. Yes.
