Hadith 1338
۞
Hadith.2904 - It was narrated from Abu Hammam, who said
I said to Al-Ridha (as): "A man has debt, and some wealth comes to him. Should he pay his debt or perform Hajj?"
Imam (as) said: "He should pay part of it toward his debt and use part for Hajj."
I said: "What if the amount is only sufficient for the expenses of Hajj?"
Imam (as) said: "Let him pay his debt one year and perform Hajj the next year."
I asked: "What if the money comes from the government?"
Imam (as) said: "There is no harm for you in that."

قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ اَلدَّيْنُ وَ يَحْضُرُهُ اَلشَّيْءُ أَ يَقْضِي دَيْنَهُ أَوْ يَحُجُّ قَالَ «يَقْضِي بِبَعْضٍ وَ يَحُجُّ بِبَعْضٍ» قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَكُونُ إِلاَّ بِقَدْرِ نَفَقَةِ اَلْحَجِّ قَالَ «يَقْضِي سَنَةً وَ يَحُجُّ سَنَةً» قُلْتُ أُعْطِيَ اَلْمَالَ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ اَلسُّلْطَانِ قَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ.
