Which is more important: Hajj or marriage?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A young man wants to get married and wants to perform Hajj, so which should he prioritize?
Answer:
If he has money that is sufficient for both marriage and Hajj, he may do either marriage or Hajj; he has the choice. But if he does not have money except enough for either marriage or Hajj, then this is looked at: if he fears for himself—if he does not get married, he fears for himself regarding zina (unlawful sexual intercourse)—it is obligatory for him to get married and he prioritizes marriage over Hajj. But if he does not fear for himself, he prioritizes Hajj over marriage.
