The Military Hajj: A Debt Incurred on Account of One's Work
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success: A person has a debt and wants to perform Hajj. He is a military officer, and the Hajj is at the expense of his work. Does he perform Hajj, and does the debt prevent him from performing Hajj?
Answer:
If it is at the expense of his work, meaning the entity he works for sends him to perform Hajj with them, there is no harm in that. But if it is at the expense of his work, meaning he leaves his job to go perform Hajj, this is not permissible except with permission, with permission from the one who has the authority to grant permission. As for him neglecting his work and going without permission, without leave, no.
