Prioritizing Marriage Over Hajj for a Young Man
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: As for a young man who has not performed Hajj and has reached the age of twenty-five, and he is about to get married, and he says, “I want to use the money for Hajj for the marriage,” is that permissible for him?
Answer:
There is a distinction here. If he fears for himself that if he does not get married, he will fall into committing a major sin, then he should prioritize marriage over Hajj to protect himself. But if he does not fear for himself, then he should prioritize Hajj over marriage. Yes.
