Comparing Marriage and Hajj for One Who Has Not Performed Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A young man who is about to get married and has not yet performed Hajj: which should he start with, marriage or Hajj?
Answer:
If he has money that is sufficient for both marriage and Hajj, he should perform Hajj at the time of Hajj and get married. However, if his money is not sufficient for both, but only for one of them—either Hajj or marriage—then if he fears harm to himself, he should prioritize marriage. If he does not fear harm to himself, he should prioritize Hajj.
