Hajj for one who has a debt.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a debt that is being paid in installments, meaning it is deferred, and I want to perform Hajj. Does this prevent me from performing Hajj, and is it necessary to seek permission from the institution that granted me the installment plan?
Answer:
Answer: If you have money that is sufficient to cover the debt and the expenses of Hajj, there is no barrier to performing Hajj; in fact, the Hajj of Islam may become obligatory upon you. However, if the money is not sufficient for the cost of Hajj and the repayment of the debt, you must prioritize the debt over Hajj, because you are not able to afford it.
