Is performing Hajj prioritized over marrying off one's son, or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I want to ask: his son has suitors, but they have not yet contracted the marriage. He is waiting for the contract to be finalized with the payment of the money. The money he has, he has set it all aside. Whenever he gets some money, he wants to go on Hajj with it. They tell him, "No, it is better to marry the boy off..." I want to go on Hajj, or should I marry this boy off?
The Shaykh : Has he not performed Hajj?
The questioner : He has not performed Hajj.
The Shaykh : Not at all?
The questioner : Not at all.
The Shaykh : He should not save this money for his Hajj.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Then he will be able to marry off his son.
The questioner : After the Hajj.
The Shaykh : I am telling you.
The questioner : Yes, my master.
The Shaykh : The money and cash he has.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He will go on Hajj with it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Then he will gather new money in order to marry off his son.
The questioner : Thank you, my master.
The Shaykh : You are welcome.
The questioner : May Allah keep you for us in good health, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
