1. A single young man became financially capable of performing Hajj, but he is also thinking about marriage. If he travels to perform Hajj, his marriage project will be delayed for some time. Which should take precedence? 2. If he needs marriage in order to avoid falling into sin, is it permissible to delay Hajj?
Answer
In the name of Allah, if he is unable to refrain from falling into sin, then marriage becomes obligatory, and in that case he is not considered capable of performing Hajj. Allah is the Guide and He knows best.
