Question |
What do respected scholars and Muftis of Islam say about the following issue? Is it preferable to perform a Nafl Hajj and ‘Umrah or to help a poor debtor is preferable? |
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ |
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |
The Nafl deed
that is needed and is beneficial more than the other is preferable. This is
the principle on Nafl deeds. Therefore, if someone is extremely needy, it is
more preferable to help him than to perform a Nafl Hajj and ‘Umrah.
Otherwise, performing a Nafl Hajj and ‘Umrah is more preferable than giving
Sadaqah. |
