Question:
A message was received for the program from the listener Ahmad Husaybah, also from the Arab Republic of Egypt, who works in Iraq. He says: I am now forty-two years old, and I have not married. I previously performed the obligatory Hajj, but I heard some people say: that marriage before Hajj... What is your opinion? Has the obligation fallen off me or not?
Answer:
Yes, yes. Hajj can be performed before marriage, and there is no harm in performing it after marriage. If a Muslim performs Hajj before marriage, or after marriage, once he has reached the age of accountability and become an adult, the obligation falls off him, even if he has not married. Yes.
But I advise you to be earnest in seeking marriage; because you are now of advanced age. So we advise you, my brother, and we counsel you to hasten to marriage and strive for marriage; striving for the safety of your religion, the chastity of your private parts, and the acquisition of offspring. So hasten, my brother, and be quick, even by borrowing and taking loans, until Allah helps you to repay them.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
