The answer

There is no harm in borrowing money as a (a benevolent loan without interest) to cover the expenses of Hajj, whether it is repaid before or after Hajj. The Qard is permissible (mashru') and is an act of worship for the lender if they intend it as an act of kindness, and it is permissible () for the borrower if they know they can fulfill the repayment. As for borrowing with interest, it is Riba (usury) which is forbidden by the Qur'an, , and scholarly consensus.
