Chapter on a Man Borrowing to Perform Hajj and the Obligation of Hajj on Someone in Debt
وَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ ذُو دَيْنٍ فَأَتَدَيَّنُ وَ أَحُجُّ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ هُوَ أَقْضَى لِلدَّيْنِ ».
A man asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "I am a man in debt. Should I borrow money and perform Hajj?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, it is more effective in settling the debt."
