Suhaib Webb – Debt & Hajj

The season of Hajj is here, and this

is where you start to hear people say,

if you have debt, you can't make Hajj.

If you have debt, you can't make Hajj.

Be careful. Just because someone I wish I

knew who someone was. I would punish that

person. Someone said or something is popular. It

doesn't make it correct or authentic. Imam Ibn

Hajar wrote a famous book on hadith that

are known amongst the masses, well known but

are completely fabricated. When it comes to debt

and Hajj, keep 2 things in mind. Number

1 is if you owe someone now, they're

demanding you pay them now, you can't go

to Hajj unless they allow you to go

to Hajj. Number 2, you have a debt

that's structured over time. It can be paid

in installments. In that situation, you can go

make Hajj, Hajj Maghfar,

to make us from the people who are

worthy to visit his home. But that is

the answer to the idea that there's no

Hajj if you're in debt.
