The ruling on Hajj for one who has a debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Is it permissible for a person who has a debt to perform Hajj, even though his debt is large, and if he pays the cost of Hajj from the debt, it will not be enough to settle the entire debt?
Answer:
He does not perform Hajj until there remains what he can use for Hajj after settling the debt. The debt takes precedence. So if he provides what settles the debt and has a remainder, he performs Hajj with it. But if the money is tight, he starts with the debt first. Yes.
