Using one's children's investment money or taking an interest free loan to go for hajj

· 6 Rajab 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

1. If I am planning to go for hajj and trying to gather funds, can I use the investments I made for my kids towards my hajj? Do I have to repay it when I get back?

2. Can family members (wife/mother) give me money for hajj as an interest free loan to be repaid as I see fit when I return?

Answer

1. Do not use their money for this. Their money should be used for their benefit.

2. If you feel that you will be able to pay back the interest free loan, and you will not experience difficulty in paying back the loan, then it is permissible for you to take the loan.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
