Depositing money in banks to perform Hajj

Q 4: In Turkey, whoever wants to perform Hajj should deposit one thousand Turkish Lira in a bank which is a big sum of money. It is worth mentioning that these banks are usurious and there is no other way to perform Hajj except this. Is Hajj obligatory in this case for the capable Muslim? If the Muslim performs Hajj, is it valid? Taking into consideration that by this they help the usurious banks and the country.


A: Hajj will be valid and what you have mentioned is not considered an excuse for postponing Hajj, if the person can perform it. (Part No. 11; Page No. 43) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
