Question:
If one borrows money for Hajj or 'Umrah, is his Hajj valid?
Answer:
Yes, it is valid, but borrowing is not prescribed for him. Hajj and 'Umrah are performed with the ability to afford them; there is no need to borrow. If he is able, he should do it; if not, praise be to Allah, he is excused. He should not strain himself.
