Which is better, marriage or Hajj?

Question 11565

Which is better, to fulfil the obligation of Hajj or to get married, for one who is single?.

Answer

---

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:

If you fear that you may commit zina (fornication), then you should give priority to marriage over performing the obligatory Hajj and ‘Umrah. But if you do not fear that you may commit zina, then you should give priority to performing the obligatory Hajj and ‘Umrah over marriage. 

And Allaah is the Source of strength.
