Summary
This fatwa rules that withdrawing savings held in Tabung Haji for the purpose of marriage is permissible. The reason given is that the command to perform the pilgrimage is not one that must be fulfilled immediately. The same decision also explains that the ruling on marriage varies by circumstance, being obligatory, recommended or forbidden.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perintah mengerjakan haji bukan segera, maka kerana itu mengeluarkan wang yang disimpan di Tabung Haji untuk tujuan hendak berkahwin, hukumnya harus.
