The preponderant opinion is that Hajj is obligatory immediately for the one who is able, and it is not permissible to delay it for marriage, unless one fears falling into fornication, nor for preparing a daughter for marriage. Taking a loan for Hajj is permissible for one who can repay it, but it is better for one who is not able not to take a loan.
