Summary
A person declared bankrupt must first obtain permission from the creditor or the creditor's representative before leaving the country, whether for hajj or any other purpose. The official assignee's department is regarded as a trustee for the creditors. The creditors have the right either to prevent or to allow the debtor to travel abroad.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Muflis (bankrap) wajib terlebih dahulu mendapatkan kebenaran daripada pemiutang (bank/institusi kewangan) atau wakilnya sebelum meninggalkan negara sama ada untuk menunaikan haji atau lainnya.
