Q: A person has extra properties or goods over and above his basic necessities. If he has to sell these extra goods and assets, he will have sufficient money to go for hajj. Is it compulsory for him to sell the extra goods and assets and go 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.
Q: Is it permissible for a person who is accredited for Hajj, and has both the means and opportunity to fulfill their Fardh Hajj, to delay it as he is concerned that their income may not be completely halaal? The individual intends to fulfill the obligation but wishes to ensure that they use only pure, halaal money for this sacred journey.
Q: I have question regarding Hajj. I have taken a loan from my father in 2018 of $65,000 for home purchase in order to avoid interest bearing transactions. Terms we decided were that I will pay when I have the ability to pay back and Alhamdulilah I have been paying back on a monthly basis and have reduced the remaining amount to $19000.
I have $70000 in 401K, cash balance around $8000. I own 50% of the house with my brother and a car (resale approx $5000 value).
My question here, is Hajj Fard on me right now?
If I decide to save for Hajj right now if Allah wills then it might be possible to save enough for Hajj (it might be possible that I may not be able to save enough or visa/qouta issue). But my loan from my dad will be still $19000. What should be my priority to first complete? If Hajj is not fard then can I go for Umrah?
Q: I would like to find out if I have funds to perform umrah, should I do it or should I continue saving until I have enough money to perform my first hajj?
Q: A family member's car was stolen. They are getting paid out by the insurance. They have been accredited for Hajj today. Can this insurance money be used to perform Hajj?
Q: For doing Umrah or Hajj is it obligatory that only after parents do Umrah or Hajj then only son or daughter can do?
Q: If a woman is pregnant and has the means to perform hajj, will she be sinful if she is told that the airlines doesn't allow her to fly in her third trimester. What should she do in this case?
Q: My husband and I wanted to do hajj in 2022. We have been waiting for this for three years.
When he was first time eligible for hajj, he sent his parents for hajj to get the reward and to give them a chance first. Due to the pandemic we were not able to go, now we want to go but his parents want him to send them for umrah.
What should we do now, give preference to his parents nafil umrah or to our mandatory hajj?
Q: Can someone who doesn't have a knowledge of the holy Qur'aan perform Hajj?
