A man who wants to perform Hajj but has not married: which should he prioritize?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man who wants to perform Hajj but has not married: which should he prioritize?
The Shaykh : He should prioritize marriage if he fears hardship in delaying it, such as being a young man with strong desires who fears hardship for himself if he delays his marriage. In this case, he prioritizes marriage over Hajj.
However, if he is ordinary and patience does not burden him, he should prioritize Hajj, provided it is an obligatory Hajj. But if the Hajj is voluntary, he should prioritize marriage in all cases as long as he has desire, even if delaying it does not burden him. This is because marriage with desire is better than voluntary acts of worship, as the scholars have explicitly stated. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The listener Khalid Sulayman al-Wasil asks and says.
