Question:
May Allah reward you. This brother, the questioner, says: I am a resident and I am in debt for a large sum of money. I am currently in the process of repaying it, and I want to perform Hajj. Is it permissible for one who has a debt to perform Hajj?
Answer:
If he has money to pay off the debt and cover the cost of Hajj, then he performs Hajj. But if his money is not sufficient except to pay off the debt, then he does not perform Hajj; he starts with the debt. Yes.
