Should one purchase a car or save up for Hajj?
Q: I sold my car two years ago.
I have saved money.
After looking at the price of second hand cars and the age of vehicles available, I took mashwara from a senior aalim and decided to take a loan for one year and buy a new car. The car is not cheap but cars are quite costly. So it's the second from an entry level.
I intend purchasing the car in the next few weeks.
I then went onto the hajj portal and it showed my name will come for the next hajj. When I had checked in July and I contacted sahuc, they said two years.
I would like to know, am I not allowed to buy the car because I will be in debt and in no position to go for hajj when the time of hajj dawns. I will be paying the car till the end of 2025.
The second issue is I am using the car from work and my boss is not a stable person so I fear that he's going to make an issue of me using the work car for such a long period
I have also had an option to get the car slightly cheaper but there was a waiting period so because of my boss I decided let me rather buy it now.
