Is it permissible to perform Hajj with money from selling a car that was bought with an interest-based loan, while continuing to pay the loan installments from one's salary?

It is not permissible to engage in usurious transactions, whether lending or borrowing. Whoever has been afflicted by it must repent to Allah. The money borrowed through usury becomes the property of its owner, and it is permissible to benefit from it in lawful ways, such as buying a car. Hajj is permissible with this money, along with repentance from usury. The existence of installments does not harm if the debt is deferred or installment-based, and the debtor is able to fulfill it on time.
