The Ruling on Performing Hajj with Borrowed Money and Delaying the Repayment of the Debt

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I performed the obligatory Hajj, and I borrowed the costs of this pilgrimage. Until now, I have not paid the full amount of these costs due to my financial circumstances. I paid some, and some remains due to the circumstances I am facing. Does this count as the Hajj of Islam?

Answer:
It is not required for a person to borrow or take on debt for the sake of Hajj; Allah has not commanded this. But since you did this and borrowed, your Hajj is valid, and you must pay the debt that is upon you. Your Hajj is valid, if Allah wills, even if the repayment is delayed. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
