Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
For example, if a person loses his money during Hajj, is it permissible for him to fast, or to borrow money and get a job?
The Shaykh:
If he fasts, that is sufficient. If he borrows, there is no harm. If he fasts, that is sufficient. If he wishes to borrow, he may borrow and offer the sacrifice; there is no harm. Fasting may be difficult for some people, so they borrow. We look for the easiest option. In any case, the matter is broad, so if he wishes, he may borrow, or if he wishes, he may spend.
