Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I have a second question. I came from Yemen to Saudi Arabia for work, yes. I intended that if I worked, if I worked, I would get money, yes, and I intended that if I worked, I would get money, yes, that I would perform Hajj, if Allah wills, yes. But I got sick, I got sick, and the money for treatment was spent on me. Yes. And I have a debt in my country, so I did not know whether to pay off the debt first or to perform Hajj?
The Shaykh : Paying off the debt is more important. Pay off the debt first, then perform Hajj. Allah knows that the debt is for my mother and my wife. Yes, for the father or the wife, and they would permit it if I performed Hajj. First, first, the high cost of the debt, first, the right. I say, if I perform Hajj, do they permit this? If I perform Hajj before paying off the debt, do they permit it or not? They demand it. Do they agree to this or not? No, the money, they want the money, meaning I must give them the money. I say, if the wife and the mother agree. I asked for permission and I am in the state of ihram. Yes. So he said, if you find a companion, perform Hajj, and if you do not find a companion, do not perform Hajj. The father says. Yes, that is right. Well, and the mother, does the mother demand money from you? The mother is confident, but she wants the money. She says there is no objection. The mother says there is no objection. Of course, we did not hear from the living. And the wife. But sometimes I do not know, I did not ask her. Ask her; if she says there is no objection, perform Hajj. Yes, but the money, no, meaning the debt that is with me, no. Huh? The debt that is with us, she demands it from me. The wife demands it from you? No, give it to her first. Give the son the debt. Give it to her first, yes. Well, Shaykh. The worldly matters take precedence over Hajj. Worldly matters take precedence over Hajj. Yes. When the pilgrim returns. When he returns. We have a right to sacrifice at his house. Yes. They perform a slaughter in front of the door. If it is wrong, this is also not permissible. A slaughter or a sacrifice? No, this is not permissible.
