In practice, this is the case with secured debts such as mortgages, and credit card companies are likewise not concerned so long as payments continue on time. The second condition is that you must have already set aside the funds for your current installment; if going for Hajj or Umrah does not prevent you from meeting that payment, then it is permissible to go.\\n\\nAs for debts involving interest, one is required to make every effort to eliminate them. However, their presence does not prevent one from performing the obligatory Hajj or Umrah.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff50b76658b4c232a43","tag":"Hajj and Umrah: Other","count":39},{"_id":"68a506ae5b38fe2a78d808c3","tag":"Finance: Debt & Loans","count":15},{"_id":"684c9e4cff0955d949b977eb","tag":"Hajj and Umrah: Validity","count":2}],"createdOn":"2025-09-02T19:56:31.612Z"}
