Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I am coming to work here, yes, I am residing here for work, and if Allah wills, with Allah’s permission, I intend to perform the obligatory Hajj this year.
The Shaykh : Do you want to perform Hajj?
The questioner : I intended to perform Hajj this year. Okay. Yes, yes, in my country, I have debts to some people. Yes. I committed to paying them and told them that if I get their permission to perform the obligatory Hajj, on the basis that, if Allah wills, when we return we will pay off this debt, and they gave me permission for that.
The Shaykh : They said, "There is no harm."
The questioner : Hello, there is no harm.
The Shaykh : There is no harm, do you hear?
The questioner : So, there is nothing on me.
The Shaykh : I say there is no harm, as long as the debts can be paid in the future, if Allah wills, and they have given permission, then there is no harm.
The questioner : Okay, if Allah wills, in my intention at the beginning of Hajj, if Allah wills, I intend to make a visit to Madinah to the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him) before we perform Hajj.
The Shaykh : How are you?
The questioner : Before we perform Hajj, so in that case, where does the ihram begin?
The Shaykh : I will go to Madinah alone before Hajj, early morning from Abqaiq.
The questioner : We enter ihram.
The Shaykh : From Abqaiq, from Abqaiq.
The questioner : I mean, after I have completed my visit to Madinah.
The Shaykh : After you visit Madinah and the Prophet’s Mosque, if you head toward Makkah, you enter ihram from Abi Ali.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : These stages are known, yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
The questioner : Thank you.
