Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: I am a man with a debt. Is it permissible for me to perform Hajj on behalf of another person, knowing that I will take a sum of money for it? And is it obligatory for me to seek permission from the creditor to whom I owe?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with a person performing Hajj on behalf of another if he has a debt, because this does not harm the creditors in any way. In fact, it may be in their interest that if he is given money for this Hajj, he will use it to pay off his debt. However, if the debt is due immediately, he should seek permission from the creditor so that the creditor does not have any resentment toward this debtor. Yes.
