The Ruling on Taking a Person's Hajj Money from Another to Settle a Debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah preserve you. He asks: Is it permissible to take money in place of performing Hajj in order to settle debts?
The Shaykh:
If he is able to pay, there is nothing wrong with it; he borrows to perform Hajj. But if he is not able to pay, he does not take it.
The questioner:
He says that he took a person's money to take money. He has two debts, so he says: I will take money to settle his debt.
The Shaykh:
No, not with that intention. No, not with that intention. Allah will make it easy to settle the debt by means other than this trick and this action. Yes.
