One is not obligated to seek out expenses for ' or Hajj, nor to borrow money to perform them. Rather, the pilgrimage is obligatory only for those who are financially and physically able. It is permissible to accept a benevolent loan (qardh ) or a legitimate financing arrangement to perform the pilgrimage for someone who is certain of their ability to repay, as stated by Al-Khatib Al-Shirbini.
