The ruling on Hajj for one who has not married
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener: Ahmad Husuba sent a question saying: I am forty-five years old, and I went to perform Hajj and completed all the rituals. Do I have a valid Hajj or not? Because I have not married yet?
Answer:
Marriage is not a condition for Hajj. Hajj is valid for one who has a wife and for one who does not have a wife. Your Hajj is valid if you performed its rights, even if you did not marry. Therefore, marriage is not a condition in Hajj, and Hajj is not a condition in marriage. Neither is a condition for the other. One may perform Hajj before marriage and after marriage, and one may marry before Hajj or after Hajj. All of this—praise be to Allah—is a matter of broadness.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
