The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person took out a riba loan, then was struck by an illness, so he swore by Allah that if he recovered he would perform 'Umrah. He asks: Is 'Umrah obligatory on him after his recovery, given the existence of this riba loan?
The Shaykh:
He swore by Allah, what?
The questioner:
If Allah heals him, he will perform 'Umrah.
The Shaykh:
Performing 'Umrah from riba, this is not permissible. If he performs 'Umrah from lawful money, he performs it. And if he does not perform it, he owes an oath expiation. Yes.
