Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Salih from Riyadh, please Abu Salih. Please, Abu Salih. We will take Abu Salih. Please. Yes. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: I repented to Allah the Exalted and Majestic when I was a young man, eighteen years old, but I have not performed Hajj and I have debts. Is it necessary for me to pay off these debts before my Hajj?
Answer:
If you have money that covers the cost of Hajj and covers paying off the debts, then perform Hajj. But if the money you have does not exceed what is needed to pay off the debts, then you start with the debts first and delay the Hajj. Yes.
