As Salah : Hajj & Umrah
Common Questions & Answers
Can we perform Hajj through a personal loan from the bank?
Hajj is obligatory only upon those who can afford it. Allah SWT said:
"Pilgrimage to this House is an obligation by Allah upon whoever is able among the people." (Ali-Imran 3:97). Therefore, we are not obliged to perform the Hajj yet if our savings are still insufficient to pay the Hajj expenses.
What About Performing Hajj With Unlawful (Haram) Wealth?
His Hajj will not be accepted by Allah SWT, and the individual will not be rewarded for his deed. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Indeed, Allah is good and accepts only what is good." (Muslim, 2/1015).
Can a Child Perform Hajj?
Children who are performing Hajj must reach puberty to be considered valid. If children have not reached puberty, their Hajj is valid as a voluntary Hajj, not the obligatory Hajj.
Who is Eligible to be represented in Badal Hajj?
- Hajj is not valid for those who are physically fit to do it themselves.
- Badal Hajj is only for those who are terminally ill or for the deceased.
- Badal Hajj is not for people who are not financially able (poor).
- The person who cancels the Hajj for others must have performed the obligatory Hajj for himself. If he has not performed Hajj for himself, then he performs Hajj for someone else, then his Hajj will fall on himself.
- Women can replace men's Hajj, and vice versa. (Fatwa Al-Lajnah Daimah, 11/52).
- Badal Hajj is only allowed for one person, as is Umrah. However, if a person performs Hajj for someone and performs Umrah for another person in the same year, this is valid as long as he has performed Hajj or Umrah for himself. (Fatwa Al-Lajnah Daimah, 11/58).
- The badal Hajj should be performed by his son, his relatives, or his closest relatives. However, other people other than close relatives are also allowed to replace the Hajj.
