Hajj for one who has a debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Sultan from Riyadh asks and says: If a person has a debt, which may be small, is it permissible for him to perform Hajj?
Answer:
If he has money that is sufficient to pay off the debt and to perform Hajj, then he performs Hajj. But if the money he has is not sufficient for both, either Hajj or the debt, then he prioritizes the debt and does not perform Hajj, because the rights of Allah are based on leniency, while the rights of creation are based on strictness. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you and reward you.
