Must I atone for my oaths before Hajj with the money I have available?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The questioner must first offer expiation for the oaths before performing Hajj, because Hajj is obligatory upon the able-bodied after fulfilling religious duties such as zakat, vows, and expiations. If, after the expiations, there remains sufficient money for Hajj, then he should perform it. Otherwise, the obligation is waived due to lack of ability. The questioner is advised to avoid excessive swearing.
