Harvesting his crop after the Hajj season: Is it permissible to borrow for Hajj and repay after the harvest?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Our brother says in another question: A man wants to perform Hajj, but he does not have the money available at the time of Hajj. He has a farm whose harvest comes in later than the time of Hajj, and the money will be available then. That money is sufficient for his Hajj, and it is also sufficient for his family after him. Is it permissible for him to borrow on the condition that he will get the money from the farm and repay it then? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not obligatory for him to borrow in this case, but he should set aside from the farm's harvest what is sufficient for his Hajj. When the time for Hajj comes, he performs Hajj. As for borrowing, there is no harm in that, but it is not obligatory for him to borrow.
