Subject: Re: Haj Author: Laila Nasheeba [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:00:40 11/28/02 Thu Author Host/IP: dhcp024-210-178-136.woh.rr.com/24.210.178.136 In reply to: sister 's message, "Haj" on 06:05:28 11/28/02 Thu As Salaamu Alaikoum, Praise be to Allah. Here are the things that constitute performing Hajj: Praise be to Allaah. The definition of being able to go for Hajj is: a person should be physically healthy; he should have the means of travelling to the Sacred House of Allaah by plane, car or riding-beast, or have the money to pay for transportation; and he should have sufficient provision (food) for the journey there and back. This should be over and above what he needs to cover the costs of expenses for those whom he is obliged to spend on until he comes back from his Hajj. A woman should also be accompanied by her husband or a Mahram when she travels for Hajj or ‘Umrah. [From Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, Kitaab al-Hajj wa’l-‘Umrah wa’l-Ziyaarah, page 17 ] There is nothing wrong with borrowing money to perform hajj and long as you agree to repay it and stick to repaying it as per the agreement... and you stay away from Riba (Interest). AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST Laila Nasheeba [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
