Prioritizing Hajj or Marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have resolved to get married, and the season of Hajj has arrived. I am able to perform Hajj. Should I prioritize Hajj over marriage, or should I get married and then perform Hajj?
Answer:
If you fear fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), prioritize marriage. If you do not fear it, prioritize Hajj, provided it is the obligatory Hajj. Act and consider your situation: if you fear it, prioritize marriage and hasten. If you do not fear it, prioritize the obligatory Hajj. If you are able to do both, get married and perform Hajj, and praise be to Allah. If you are able to do both, and you are a husband, hasten to get married and then perform Hajj, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
