Question: I am a man who wants to fulfill the obligation of Hajj during this year. However, I borrowed some money from the bank and I repay it in monthly installments. The period of payment will not end until after six months from now. Is it obligatory upon me to perform Hajj and fulfill the obligation, while knowing that I borrowed some money before I thought about performing the obligation (of Hajj) and it was for another purpose?   Answer: If you were able to come up with the provisions for Hajj while paying off debt in its time, it is obligatory upon you to perform Hajj due to the generality of Allaah?s statement: æóáöáøåö Úóáóì ÇáäøóÇÓö ÍöÌøõ ÇáúÈóíúÊö ãóäö ÇÓúÊóØóÇÚó Åöáóíúåö ÓóÈöíáÇð And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allâh, those who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision and residence) (Aali Imran 3:97) If you were not able to come up with provisions for Hajj while paying off the debt, you are not obligated to perform the Hajj. This is due to this noble Verse and what has come with the same meaning from the Hadiths related from the Messenger of Allaah sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam.

Question: A Muslim wanted to perform the obligatory Hajj whilst having an (outstanding) loan, so if he were to seek permission from the loaners and they permitted him to perform the Hajj, would his Hajj be acceptable? Response: If the situation is as you have mentioned, with the permission of the loaners to perform Hajj before completing payment (of the loan), then there is no problem in performing the Hajj before completing the payment (of the loan). And there is no affect (upon the Hajj) for being a borrower from them in such a situation. And with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
