Before that I was practising my religion, I took a lone with intrest for my
friend. My friend has promised to pay it back. Now I would like to go to
Hajj with my mother, but my friend isn’t able to pay the lone to bank (
the lone is in my name)before it’s time for Hajj.I would like to know if my Hajj will be accepted from me?
Praise be to Allaah.
Praise be to
Allaah Who has guided you to adhere to Islam. What you mention will not
affect the validity of your Hajj. If you meet the conditions that mean you
are able to go, then go for Hajj. “Being able to go for Hajj means being
physically healthy, having the means of transportation to reach the House
of Allaah by plane, car, riding-beast, etc., according to one’s
circumstances and having sufficient provision for the journey there and
back. The money that you have to cover your Hajj expenses should be
surplus to whatever is required to cover one’s financial obligations
[spending on family members and others who are under one’s care, etc.]
until one gets back from Hajj.” Fataawaa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah,
11/30.
You have to
repent to Allaah for helping your friend to do something haraam. Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning):
“… but
do not help one another in sin and transgression …” [al-Maa’idah
5:3]
And you have to
explain to your friend the ruling on this matter, and advise him to repent
and not repeat that sin. May Allaah give us and you the strength to do
that which He loves and which pleases Him. May Allaah bless our Prophet
Muhammad.
