The ruling on borrowing to perform Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Is it permissible for me to take a loan from the institution where I work in order to perform Hajj, and it is the obligatory Hajj?
Answer:
You are not required to borrow for the sake of Hajj; you do not have to perform Hajj. Allah the Exalted said:[Ali 'Imran 3:97] So the one who is unable does not have to perform Hajj, and he is not required to borrow; that is overburdening oneself.

وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
