Ruling on performing the obligatory Hajj with the wife's gold as a debt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener: Sayyid Rajab Khalifa from Egypt sent a message saying: My longing to perform the obligatory Hajj increases day by day, but my financial resources do not allow me to do so. My wife has volunteered and offered to sell her gold and jewelry to perform the obligatory Hajj with its value. Naturally, I will return this amount to her—by the permission of Allah—so she can buy gold and jewelry in their place. Is this permissible? Please inform us; may Allah reward you.
Answer:
That is permissible, but it is not obligatory for you, because you are unable to afford it. Allah says: [Al-Imran: 97] But if you agree with your wife, and you perform Hajj with what she has allowed you, or if you both perform it together; all of this is good, and praise be to Allah. We ask Allah to complete it for you.
The presenter : O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
